Kobe Bryant Scores 48 Points To Carry Lakers Past Suns, 99-83

"The Lakers were scattered everywhere Tuesday, one player too nauseated to play, another celebrating the birth of twin daughters, yet another still fighting a turf-toe injury.

But Kobe Bryant suited up.

He turned back the clock with 48 points Tuesday, looking as spry as ever in the Lakers' 99-83 victory over the Phoenix Suns at Staples Center.

Bryant recognized the Lakers needs, making 18 of 31 shots and 12 of 13 from the free throw line for the biggest scoring outburst of any NBA player this season. It was the 108th 40-point game of Bryant's career, his first this season after only three last season."
