Kobe Bryant passed fellow Lakers great Wilt Chamberlain for fourth place on the NBA's career scoring list.
Bryant made a pull-up jumper from the free throw line with 7:54 remaining in the second quarter of last night's 103-98 Lakers win over the Kings in Sacramento to eclipse Chamberlain's mark of 31,419 points.
Bryant had 19 points — on top of 14 assists and nine rebounds — to finish the night with 31,434 lifetime points.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar tops the NBA's career scoring list with 38,387 points, Karl Malone is second with 36,928 and Michael Jordan is third with 32,292.

4TH AND RISING: Kobe Bryant (above, shooting over the Kings' John Salmons) moved past Wilt Chamberlain for fourth place on the NBA career scoring list during the Lakers' 103 -98 victory last night in Sacramento. Michael Jordan is 858 points ahead in third place.
The 34-year-old Bryant is in his 17th season.
Dwight Howard added 24 points and 15 rebounds, and Steve Blake scored 15 points for the Lakers (38-36), who stayed even with Utah (38-36) for the eighth and final playoff spot. Los Angeles plays host to 10th-place Dallas (36-37) in a critical tilt Tuesday night.
Mavericks 100, Bulls 98
In Dallas, Dirk Nowitzki hit a 3-pointer with 2.9 seconds left and the Mavericks nipped the Bulls.
The Mavericks trailed by 12 in the fourth quarter, but Nowitzki scored Dallas' last eight points in a 15-1 run over the final 3 1/2 minutes of the game. He finished with a season-high 35 points.
After Jimmy Butler missed two free throws with 15.9 seconds remaining, Nowitzki connected on the winning 3 with Luol Deng running at him. The Mavericks (36-37) are within 1 1/2 games of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Rockets 98, Clippers 81
In Houston, Jeremy Lin, Chandler Parsons and Francisco Garcia scored 15 points apiece to lead the Rockets over the Clippers.
Houston was playing without shooting guard and leading scorer James Harden (right ankle sprain).
Point guard Chris Paul was the only Clippers starter to play in the final quarter, finishing with 19 points and seven assists.
Pacers 112, Suns 104
In Phoenix, Paul George scored 25 points to lead all five Indiana starters in double figures and the Pacers won their fourth straight with a victory over the Suns.
Indiana's seventh win in eight games lifted them a half-game ahead of idle Knicks for second in the Eastern Conference.
Thunder 109, Bucks 99
In Milwaukee, Kevin Durant scored 30 points and Russell Westbrook had a triple-double for the Thunder. Durant shot 10 of 19 from the field and 9 of 10 from the free throw line. Westbrook had 23 points, 10 assists and 13 rebounds.
Grizzlies 99, T'wolves 86
In Minneapolis, Marc Gasol scored 21 points as the Grizzlies pulled away in the fourth quarter to beat the Timberwolves and end a five-game road losing streak.
Warriors 125, Trail Blazers 98
In Oakland, Calif., Stephen Curry scored 39 points and the Golden State Warriors moved one step closer toward ending their five-year playoff drought.
76ers 100, Bobcats 94
In Philadelphia, Jrue Holiday scored 10 straight points down the stretch and Evan Turner for the 76ers.
Hawks 97, Magic 88
In Atlanta, Ivan Johnson scored a season-high 21 points off the bench as the Hawks pulled away.
HEAT, SPURS IN KEY CLASH
The Heat (57-15) take a two-game lead in the NBA standings over the Spurs (55-17) into their matchup today in San Antonio.
Miami has won 28 of its last 29 games overall. But San Antonio has won 28 of its last 30 games at home.
"It's always good to play the best, to play against the best," LeBron James said.
The only other meeting between the clubs this season was Nov. 29 in Miami, a strange game in that Spurs coach Gregg Popovich sent key players Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker and Danny Green home before the game.
