Kobe closes in on Jordan mark
Print Edition
KOBE Bryant, closing in on Michael Jordan for third on the National Basketball Association’s all-time scoring list, scored 32 points on Tuesday to help the Los Angeles Lakers to a 98-95 victory over the Sacramento Kings.
Bryant scored 21 points in the second half, including a breakaway dunk and a three-pointer that knotted the score at 92-92 with less than four minutes to play.
Although the Lakers are enduring a tough season, Bryant came into the game averaging a league-leading 25.2 points per game, although he’s shooting a career-worst 38.9 percent from the field.
“I’m sometimes just shaking my head on how he can continue to go out there and deliver,” Lakers coach Byron Scott said of the 36-year-old workhorse.
Bryant now needs 31 points to pass Jordan, with 32,292 career points, for third place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list.
Only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with 38,387 and Karl Malone with 36,928, scored more in their careers.
Elsewhere on Tuesday, it was: Cavaliers 105, Raptors 101; Trail Blazers 98, Pistons 86; Pelicans 104, Knicks 93; Thunder 114, Bucks 101; Grizzlies 114, Mavericks 105; Heat 103, Suns 97; and Jazz 100, Spurs 96.
