MEMPHIS, Feb. 1 (UPI) -- Rudy Gay's 25-point effort led Memphis to a 99-93 win over the Los Angeles Lakers Monday in a game that featured a record-breaking achievement by Kobe Bryant.
Bryant, who ended up with 44 points, passed Jerry West to become the leading scorer in Lakers' history with a total of 25,208 points in 14 seasons. His 28th point against Memphis broke the mark West held for decades.
Gay's performance included a key 3-point basket with 29.5 seconds remaining.
Zach Randolph added 22 points and Lester Hudson scored 13 for the Grizzlies, who had lost their two previous games.
Ron Artest scored 18 points for the Lakers, who concluded a road trip with five wins in eight contests.
