LOS ANGELES — Kobe Bryant has a habit of making history against the Toronto Raptors, and the Los Angeles Lakers star did so again Sunday.
The 36-year-old Bryant earned his 6,000th career assist midway through the third quarter against the Raptors, becoming the first player in NBA history with that many assists and at least 30,000 career points.
Bryant, now in his 19th season, entered the game with 32,123 career regular-season points.
It represented another mark for Bryant against the Raptors, against whom he scored a career-high 81 points in 2006, still his most in any NBA game.
