LeBron James hits record-breaking score

No NBA player has scored too many whiles on playoffs other than LeBron James. Not even late. Kobe Bryant hasn’t achieved that much. The King closed a record-breaking score as the Los Angeles Lakers won past the Utah Jazz 106-101 on Wednesday night.

While this took the KIng’s records to the next level, the All-Star forward made another milestone in his career. With a record, he only shared with Elgin Baylor.

It’s no secret that the Lakers’ line-up since way back featured all-time champions. These huge names are Magic Johnson. Kobe Bryant, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain, Shaquille O’Neal, and many more. LeBron James’ recent stats make him all the fitter in a team.

While Anthony Davis’ ankle injury crippled the Lakers team, LeBron James was never one to surrender. For most of the game, Jazz took centerstage with a good play. Jazz holds the momentum at the start and controls the game. However, come the last three minutes of the game, here comes the King taking over whatever time was left.

LeBron James scored a whopping ten straight points. With one and half minutes remaining on the game, James changed the tides in favor of Los Angeles. This move gave the LA Lakers a three-point lead with one and half minutes remaining.

James kept the Lakers team afloat while their trio, including Russell Westbrook and Davis, struggled to get their right moves. Although James had brought in impressive records to the team, LA Lakers only managed to win 10 out of the 23 games.

Los Angeles Lakers’ victory over Jazz is their 31st of the season. There is just one game behind L.A. Clippers in the Western Conference standings for the record.
