Kobe Bryant had a perfect game beyond the arc to take over the NBA scoring lead, and the Los Angeles Lakers saved coach Phil Jackson from a dubious milestone.

Back from a two-game suspension, Bryant made all seven of his 3-point shots and scored 48 points Friday night in a 119-93 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.

He moved a fraction ahead of the 76ers' Allen Iverson, who had 31 points, in the NBA scoring race. Bryant raised his average to 33.166 a game to Iverson's 33.090.

The win halted the Lakers' five-game losing streak and prevented Jackson from losing six straight for the first time in his 15 seasons as an NBA coach.

"Our spacing was good, which made it very difficult to corral me," Bryant said. "When they did, we were able to swing the ball and get open opportunities for everybody else."

Smush Parker joined his teammate in popping from outside, going 5-of-5 on 3-pointers and scoring a career-high 24 points.

"Kobe was hot shooting, making fadeaway jump shots from 25 feet away," Parker said. "It was good to have Kobe back. We got a brief taste of life without Kobe and we definitely missed him."

Philadelphia coach Maurice Cheeks is used to Bryant's shooting show.

"Kobe makes shots, we kept saying they were incredible shots and for most people they are," Cheeks said. "But for Kobe, I don't think they were incredible. He does things like that on an everyday basis."
