LeBron James’ 1,297-Game Double-Digit Scoring Streak Ends as Lakers Beat Raptors on Buzzer-Beater

His team-first pass to Rui Hachimura for the winning three highlighted a career-long habit of making the right play.

Overview

  • James finished with eight points in Toronto, halting a run that started on January 6, 2007.
  • After the game, he said he had no regrets and emphasized the win, noting he always tries to make the right play.
  • The streak is far ahead of the next-best marks by Michael Jordan (866), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (787) and Karl Malone (575).
  • At age 40 in his 23rd season, James had missed the October 22 opener with an injury and returned November 19, factors cited as signs the run could end.
  • Kevin Durant owns the longest active streak at 267 games, underscoring how distant James’ total remains.
