LeBron James scored his 39,000th point as the Los Angeles Lakers completed an unbeaten run through group play in the NBA In-Season Tournament with a 131-99 victory over the Utah Jazz.
James finished with 17 points, nine assists and seven rebounds for the Lakers, who are likely to host a quarterfinal game early next month to begin the knockout stages of the league’s first in-season tournament.
Already the top scorer in league history after passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar last season, the 38-year-old James became the first player to top 39,000 points early in the first quarter. “There’s been so many great players and so many great scorers,” James said. “To be able to accomplish something that’s the first of anything, I think that’s always pretty cool. It’s a wild moment, that’s for sure.”
