During the game, Bryant was aggressive scoring 12 of the Laker's first 31 points and helping to a 31-21 lead to end the 1st quarter. In the 2nd quarter, he didn't look to break the record as he had 5 assists in the quarter alone to add with 6 rebounds.

Kobe Bryant though was hardly ready to concede as he made his next 4 fadeaway jumpshots. He scored 13 points in the 4th scoring that same amount of points in a row at one point for the Lakers ...
