Spurs crash Kobe Bryant's 81-point game anniversary   

 

On the 10th anniversary of Kobe Bryant's epic 81-point game against Toronto, the San Antonio Spurs made sure that glorious performance was only a fond memory for Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers.

 

The Spurs dominated the Lakers 108-95, rolling to their 13th straight victory.

 

Argentine veteran Manu Ginobili scored a season-high 20 points and Kawhi Leonard added 18 for the Spurs, who improved to 38-6.

 

The Lakers paid homage during the game to Bryant's 2006 outburst against the Raptors -- the second-highest scoring performance in NBA history behind the 100-point game of Wilt Chamberlain in 1962.
