Kobe Scores 81 Points, Lakers Win
The Lakers' Kobe Bryant scored a franchise-record 81 points in a 121-104 victory over the Raptors on Sunday. Bryant, who scored the second highest total in league history, outscored the Raptors 55-41 in the second half. Kobe shot 28-of-46 from the floor, 7-of-13 from behind the arc, and 18-of-20 from the line. Kobe shot 60 percent from the field, while setting the franchise record for most points in a quarter and a half. Bryant's total only ranks behind Wilt Chamberlain's epic 100-point game as the highest total of all time.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 22 (Ticker) -- Often compared to Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant entered the rarefied realm of Wilt Chamberlain.

Bryant scored a mind-boggling 81 points - the second-highest total in NBA history - as the Los Angeles Lakers posted a 122-104 victory over the Toronto Raptors.

NBA TV highlights from
Raptors-Lakers: Play
It was the NBA's greatest individual offensive performance aside from Chamberlain's landmark 100-point game against the New York Knicks on March 2, 1962. That figure once was considered unapproachable, but Bryant is raising the possibility.

After scoring 26 points in the first half, Bryant exploded for 55 after the break - four shy of Chamberlain's record for points in a half. He outscored the Raptors by 14 points after halftime.

Bryant made 28-of-46 shots - including 7-of-13 3-pointers - and 18-of-20 free throws. He shattered his previous career high of 62 points set vs. Dallas in just three quarters on December 20.

With just under five minutes remaining and the Lakers leading, 108-96, Bryant knocked down a 3-pointer to join Chamberlain, former Laker Elgin Baylor, David Thompson and David Robinson in the 70-point club - a threshold Jordan never reached.

Bryant drilled a short jumper on the ensuing possession to break Baylor's club record of 71 points against the Knicks on November 15, 1960.

After making a layup with 3:26 remaining to reach 74 points, Bryant scored his last seven from the free-throw line. He sank a pair of free throws with 43 seconds left to complete his magical performance and exited to a huge ovation with 4.2 seconds to go.

Smush Parker added 13 points and Lamar Odom added 10 rebounds and seven assists for the Lakers, who have won seven of their last 10.

Mike James scored 26 points for Toronto, who led by as many as 18 points in the third quarter.
