PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania, Feb 7 — Kobe Bryant moved past Shaquille O’Neal to become the NBA’s fifth highest scorer yesterday but it was a bitter-sweet moment for the Los Angeles guard as the Lakers lost 95-90 to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Bryant finished with 28 points to reach a career total of 28,601, moving past O’Neal’s 28,596.

Philadelphia trailed 86-79 with four and a half minutes to go when Lou Williams sparked a 14-2 run to send the Wells Fargo Center crowd into a frenzy.

Williams scored 10 of his team-high 24 points during the spurt, including seven straight, to give the Atlantic Division-leading 76ers (18-7) their sixth win in seven games.

Los Angeles (14-11) lost their second in a row as they reached the halfway point of a six-games road trip. The Lakers are just 3-9 away from home this season.

Lakers’ Andrew Bynum had 20 points and 20 rebounds, but he made just two of his final 14 shots after a strong start. — Reuters
