Lakers 115, Warriors 113 - 03/26/07
Kobe Bryant's 50-point streak ended Sunday night, and he didn't seem the slightest bit disappointed.
"Off-night," Bryant said with a smile after scoring 43 points to lead the Los Angeles Lakers past the Golden State Warriors 115-113, extending their winning streak to a season-high five games.
Bryant had scored at least 50 points in four games in a row to become the second player in NBA history with such a streak, joining the late Wilt Chamberlain.
Chamberlain scored 50 or more in a record seven consecutive games in December 1961. He also had a five-game streak and three four-game streaks during the 1961-62 season, when he averaged a record 50.4 points.
"What? No!" Bryant said emphatically when asked if he felt any disappointment about falling short of 50. "I've always said Wilt's a human video game. For me to be in the same breath with him, even if it's a short little breath, is pretty cool."
When Bryant scored 17 points in the first nine minutes, it appeared his streak was destined to continue. But the Warriors used multiple defenses and a lot of double teams after that, making it tough for the Lakers' star to get open.
"We held him to 43, by God," Warriors coach Don Nelson said as he finished speaking with reporters.
"We did a good job. I think our defense was solid," Nelson said. "We tried to make it hard for Kobe . What a great performance - I can't imagine what he's been doing."
Bryant began his streak following a seven-game losing streak - the longest of coach Phil Jackson's career as a head coach.
"I think it energized us as a team and I think it energized the city, and I think that's great," Bryant said of the streak. "Before that, we were dead in the water. We're playing with a lot more energy now."
Lamar Odom had 24 points and 19 rebounds to equal his career high, and Smush Parker scored 13 points for the Lakers (38-32), who have beaten the Warriors eight consecutive times and in 13 of the past 14 games between the teams. Monta Ellis matched his career high with 31 points to lead the Warriors (33-38), who lost for just the third time in 11 games.
