Mavericks @ Lakers, December 20, 2005 | Just one of many awe-inspiring spectacles of Kobe's career. Personally, I think this performance is just as good, if not BETTER than what he would showcase about a month later against the Toronto Raptors. At the peak of his scoring powers and following a tough loss to the Rockets where the Lakers put just 74 points on the board, the stage was set for KB to deliver a once-in-a-lifetime performance. The visitors were the #1 seed Dallas Mavericks who entered the game with an 18-6 record. These Mavs would go on to sustain the best record in the league that year while advancing all the way to the Finals, so this didn't take place against just any team. After a 32 point first half by Kobe, one would think he could top 60 by the end of the game, but even that may have seemed like a stretch. What happened in the third quarter was far beyond what anyone could have expected. It turned out that Kobe hitting 60 was not only far from a stretch, but he wouldn't even need four quarters to accomplish it. The team that toted the league's best record and 11th best defense looked on helplessly as the locomotive going full speed at their neck erupted for 30 points in the 3rd quarter alone. As if scoring 62 points through three quarters wasn't mind-boggling enough, add to the fact that one player outscored an ENTIRE TEAM by himself through 3/4 of the game and you have a scenario that would have been ludicrous to even suggest beforehand. At the pace Kobe was scoring, he could have topped 82 points at the end of regulation....
