Bryant passes O'Neal on scoring list

Lou Williams nailed the go-ahead 3-pointer, scored 14 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter and spoiled Kobe Bryant's record-setting night while leading the Philadelphia 76ers to 95-90 win against the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night.

With "Beat L.A.!" echoing through a second straight sellout crowd, Williams hit the tying jumper, then followed with the 3 for a 91-88 lead. He hit another floater to make it 93-88, part of a fantastic fourth that saw him hold off Bryant and help the Sixers improve to 13-3 at home.

Bryant scored 24 of his 28 points in the first half. He passed former teammate Shaquille O'Neal and moved into fifth place on the NBA's career scoring list. Bryant got 24 points in a hurry to pass O'Neal but stumbled down the stretch and missed nine of his 10 shots in the fourth.
