A fan waved a sign that read, "Goodbye Michael, Hello Kobe," and that
set the tone for Kobe Bryant's sensational performance.
Bryant scored 55 points, the most in the NBA this season, as the Los
Angeles Lakers defeated Michael Jordan and the Washington Wizards last
night, 108-94.
Bryant's scoring display, which included a team-record 42 points in
the first half, came in what probably was his and the Lakers' final
game against Jordan, 40, who plans to retire after this season.
Often hailed as the "next Michael Jordan," a comparison he dislikes,
Bryant, 24, made nine shots in a row during a second quarter stretch.
His 42 first-half points broke a team record that had stood for 43 years.
The 55 points were one shy of Bryant's career best, and eclipsed the
previous league high this season - 53 points by New York's Allan Houston
in a win over the Lakers on Feb. 16.
Bryant got 24 of his first-half points on 8-for-11 shooting from three-
point range, tying a league record for three-pointers in a half.
Earlier this season, Bryant set an NBA mark by making a dozen three-
pointers in a game. He scored 45 points in that contest, a 119-98 win
over Seattle on Jan. 7.
He finished 15-for-29 from the floor. Shaquille O'Neal added 26 points
and 13 rebounds for the Lakers.
Jordan finished with 23 points, 17 in the first half. Jerry Stackhouse
added 22 points for Washington.
