Retired Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant has his fingerprints all over the team’s record books, and not without good reason. The future Hall-of-Famer produced some of the most impressive scoring feats in NBA history on a regular basis during his prime, and what he did on March 18, 2007, is no different.
One game after scoring 65 points against the Portland Trail Blazers the night prior, Bryant poured in 50 on the Minnesota Timberwolves. The performance not only helped L.A. get a much-needed win, but it also made Bryant the first Laker in 44 years to score at least 50 points in back-to-back games, with Elgin Baylor being the last Lakers player to do so.
