A week earlier, Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant began one of the most prolific scoring streaks in NBA history. And on March 23, 2007, he kept it up for one last game in what was another Lakers’ win.
Kobe scored 50 points for the fourth consecutive game and the Lakers extended their winning streak by defeating the New Orleans Hornets, 111-105. What was really impressive about this performance was Kobe’s efficiency in reaching the milestone.
He made 16 of 29 shots while also knocking down all 16 of his free throws. Bryant added seven rebounds and a block while turning the ball over just once in 47 minutes.
