Bryant entered the game needing nine points to top the retired Jordan’s mark of 32,292 points and move into third on the all-time list.

The 36-year-old Bryant did it in his 19th season and 1,269th game. Jordan’s career lasted 15 seasons and 1,072 games.

Bryant now trails only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387 points) and Karl Malone (36,928) in career points.
