Oh well, Kobe’s scoring streak ends at four games, though the Lakers winning streak . Good enough for me, though Marc Stein at ESPN figured it would go at least six.

So you heard it hear first. Kobe is going to take his streak of 50-point games all the way to next Friday’s home game with Houston — one short of tying Wilt Chamberlain’s record of seven consecutive 50-pointers — when the slow-it-down Houston Rockets will finally hold No. 24 under a half-century.

The LA Times wrote after the fame against Golden State:

Kobe Bryant’s pursuit of Wilt Chamberlain was halted after he scored 43 points, but the Lakers secured their season-high fifth consecutive victory by beating the Golden State Warriors, 115-113, Sunday at Staples Center.
