Kobe Bryant owns the second-high scoring game in NBA history. On Jan. 22, 2006, Bryant scored a career-high 81 points in a 122–104 victory against the Toronto Raptors. In addition to breaking the previous franchise record of 71 set by Elgin Baylor, Bryant’s 81-point game is surpassed only by Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game in 1962.
