Mar 22, 2007 10:17 PM EST

Kobe Bryant has scored at least 50 points in three straight games, sinking two free throws at the 8:08 mark of the fourth quarter against Memphis to give him the honor.

Hitting form at the right time, Bryant has followed up on a 65 point performance against Portland on March 16 with 50 points against the Timberwolves two nights later, and now 60 against the Grizzlies on Thursday night, with the Lakers winning all three games.

The Lakers currently hold the seventh seed in the West.

Grizzlies' Heisley Says No Offer On Table To Buy Team

Mar 15, 2007 1:20 AM EST

Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley said Wednesday he has no active offers before him to buy the NBA team, though it is still up for sale.

North Carolina real estate developer Brian Davis, who failed late last year to raise the $252 million Heisley wants for his majority share of the team, is still looking for investors but does not have them yet, Heisley said before a "state of the franchise" meeting with season ticket holders. "As far as I'm concerned, Davis doesn't have an offer on the table because he doesn't have the financing," Heisley said.
