LeBron James’ 18-year-old record comes to an end

LeBron James’ incredible run of 1,297 regular-season NBA games scoring 10 or more points ended as the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Toronto Raptors 123-120.

James, 40, scored eight points against the Raptors and handed out 11 assists, including the pass for Rui Hachimura to score the buzzer-beating game-winner.

“Just playing the game the right way,” said James, who is in his unprecedented 23rd season.

“Always make the right play. That’s how I was taught the game.”

James last failed to score in double digits in January 2007, breaking Michael Jordan’s previous record by 431 games.

James struggled with his shot for much of the night, connecting on just four of 17 and missing all five of his three-point attempts.

With the NBA’s leading scorer Luka Doncic absent for personal reasons, Austin Reaves delivered a double-double of 44 points and 10 assists for the Lakers.

In March, James became the first player to score 50,000 points in NBA regular season and play-off matches.
