A month after scoring 62 points on the Dallas Mavericks, Kobe Bryant is at it again. Last night, he blew up for 81 points in a 122-104 win against the Toronto Raptors at the Staples Center. His performance was second only to Wilt Chamberlin’s 100-point performance in 1962.
Astoundingly, the Raptors had two more assists than the Lakers (20-18) which means that Kobe was doing most of his work off the dribble. Bryant shot 28-46 (.609) from the field, including 7-13 from long range. He also hit 18 of his 20 free throw attempts. In short, he was simply unstoppable.
More importantly (maybe?), the Lakers won the game.
