LeBron James and Luka Don\u010di\u0107\u00a0are no strangers to rewriting the record books, but they had a field day in the Los Angeles Lakers’ 127-113 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday. <\/p>\n
One day after James tied Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s all-time record for career wins, he surpassed him with his 1,229th victory between the regular season and playoffs. Don\u010di\u0107 continued his torrid streak with 42 points and 12 assists. <\/p>\n
In addition to James’ wins record, there were four other historical markers set by members of the Lakers in the victory over the Cavaliers. <\/p>\n
That list doesn’t even include that Don\u010di\u0107, by getting to 15,000 career points, is the third-youngest player ever to reach that milestone. <\/p>\n
After sitting out Monday’s win over the Washington Wizards while serving an automatic one-game suspension for technical fouls, Don\u010di\u0107 looked rested and ready to go. He now has an NBA-high<\/a> 16 games with at least 40 points this season, six more than anyone else. <\/p>\n Don\u010di\u0107 finished the month of March averaging 37.5 points on 49.2 percent shooting, 8.0 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game in 16 starts. <\/p>\n Among months in which he played at least 10 games, Don\u010di\u0107’s scoring average in March tied for the highest-scoring month<\/a> of his career with December 2023. <\/p>\n
