With four 40-point games already this season after getting just four all last year, Kobe trails only Wilt Chamberlain (271) and Michael Jordan (173) in 40-point games in NBA history. "It's a true honor," Bryant said. "A lot of work went into it, and when I look back on that, I [can't believe] I had 100 of those games. It's just a good feeling."

This was Kobe's 100th 40-point game, putting him behind Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan on the all-time list.

Our View: Kobe is averaging over 30 PPG game this season and has now hit the 40-plateau four times. It was nice to see him go off again, as he averaged just 18.5 points in his two previous contests. He rolled tonight, so another 40-point effort next time around is not out of the question.

Bryant said he won't miss any time due to the injury.

Our View: Bryant was forced to leave late in the game tonight, but he said that missing time going forward is not an option. The injury isn't serious, but it could become a nagging thing if he doesn't get it healed.
