Kobe Bryant scored 45 points on Monday, making him the first player to score at least that many in four consecutive games since November 1964, and the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Indiana Pacers 96-90 Monday night for their third straight victory.  

The last player to score at least 45 or more points in four consecutive games was Wilt Chamberlain, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

"I am just blessed. I have just been blessed to be able to play this game. I am just very fortunate," Bryant said.
