That was the game where he out scored the whole Dallas team by himself thru 3 quarters. when his shots was just automatic.

Always thought this was Kobe best game. Although the 81 point game was higher if he would of played the 4th he could of been in the 90's.

I wish he played in the 4th, would have been amazing to see how high he could have gone.

Had Kobe played in the 4th quarter, he probably would have beat his 81 points.

I remember this game. Damn Phil took him out! He could have definitely gotten up there in the 90's

that scoring run kobe went on was unbelievable... 4 straight 50 point games 8-) 44pt average for an entire month, highest of any player other than Wilt, and finished with 10 50pt games in the season.

I doubt we ever see anything like this again

Definitely sounds like a fan, even went as far as embellishing Kobe's stats.
