LeBron James Breaks NBA 30-Point Record

LeBron James made history by surpassing Michael Jordan for the most 30-point games in NBA history, achieving this milestone during the Lakers' 119-102 victory over the Atlanta Hawks. James scored 30 points in the game, bringing his total to 563 games with at least 30 points, achieved over 22 seasons, compared to Jordan's 562 games in 15 seasons. This victory improved the Lakers' record to 20-14, securing the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference. In a previous matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers, James scored 38 points, leading the Lakers to a 114-106 win without All-Star Anthony Davis, who was resting due to a sprained ankle. Max Christie provided significant support with a career-high 28 points in that game, showcasing the team's depth. The Lakers are currently on a successful run, winning six of their last eight games.
