This Day In Lakers History: Kobe Bryant Drops 60 Points On Grizzlies To Extend Scoring Streak

On March 22, 2007, Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant was right in the middle of one of the most impressive scoring streaks of his career. Heading into the team’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies, Bryant had scored at least 50 points in the Lakers’ prior two games, a feat he continued by pouring in 60 to beat Memphis.

And the Lakers needed all of those 60 points, narrowly winning the game 121-119, as Lamar Odom (20 points) and Luke Walton (11 points) were the only other players to get into double figures for L.A.

But despite that lack of scoring help in the box score, Bryant still wanted to credit his teammates for making his performance possible following the narrow win, via Ross Siler of Inside SoCal:

“I’m doing my part and other guys are stepping up and doing theirs as well,” Bryant said.
