BRYANT'S FOURTH STRAIGHT 30-POINT GAME IN NBA FINALS

BRYANT'S FOURTH STRAIGHT 30-POINT GAME IN NBA FINALS
Kobe Bryant scored 30 points in the Lakers' Game One victory over the Celtics. It was Bryant's 11th game with 30 or more points in the NBA Finals. The only active player with more 30-point games in the Finals than Kobe is Shaquille O'Neal (16). Bryant is still 20 games behind the all-time leader, Jerry West, who had 31 games of 30-plus points in the Finals. Bryant has scored at least 30 points in four consecutive Finals games dating back to last year. It's the longest such streak in Finals play since Dwyane Wade tallied four straight 30-point games in 2006.
