The Lakers beat the Hawks 134-118 at home to usher in a four-game winning streak. In this game, Lakers forward LeBron James played 36 minutes and had 32 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks on 13-of-24 shooting. James thus surpassed Michael Jordan's 34-year-old to become the oldest player in history to score 25+ in 10 consecutive games.
Lakers journalist Raj Brar forwarded the record after the game, writing: "Every last season I remember the same loop playing out:
"Oh my God, LeBron has slipped!
Oh my Goodness, how can LeBron do this!?
Oh my God, is LeBron still the league's best player?
Learn your lesson – it was all designed by him. ”
