Bryant Accomplishes Scoring Feat

Kobe Bryant is setting records. Over the last few games his high scoring has resulted in wins for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Bryant's 45 points Monday night gave Los Angeles the victory over Indiana and made him the first player since Wilt Chamberlain with at least that many points in four straight games.

The Lakers are in the playoff hunt but only two games over .500. They are just a half game behind the the L.A. Clippers, a team they beat on Bryant's 50 points a few days ago.

It's possible that only one of those two teams will reach the playoffs, and their head-to-head records could be the difference.
