Bryant Goes Back To 40s It's a testament to the season Kobe Bryant is having that the superstar guard could score 40 points or more in the Lakers' past four games and barely cause a stir across the league. So far in March, Bryant is back to scoring at nearly the same clip he did in January, when he averaged 43.4 points per game, the most by any player not named Wilt Chamberlain in a month in NBA history. -- Los Angeles Daily News Bryant Above All In Fourth Quarter There is no reason to feel pressure in the fourth quarter, according to Kobe Bryant, if you are confident and well prepared. Bryant established himself years ago as arguably the league's premier shot-maker with the game on the line, and this season has seen the NBA's Lone Ranger even more precise with the final silver bullets in his chamber. Bryant is scoring more fourth-quarter points -- 9.8 per game -- than anyone in recorded history. -- Orange County Register
