LeBron James Joins Robertson In Top 25 In Assists And Points

With his fifth assist, James moved past Norm Nixon (6,386) into 25th place and moved alongside Robertson, who finished his Hall of Fame career with 26,710 points and 9,887 assists. He needs six more points to catch Reggie Miller (25,279 points) at No. 18 on the all-time scoring list.

DeMarcus Cousins (30 points, 11 rebounds), Rudy Gay (28 points, 10 rebounds) and Rajon Rondo (14 points, 20 assists) all tallied double-doubles for the beaten Kings.

After James pushed the lead to 12 points on a free throw, over the final five minutes of the opening quarter, the Magic outscored the Cavaliers, 17-7, and made it a two-point game, 29-27, heading into the second period. “I think in the National Football League, when you talk about great quarterbacks, they don’t really compare great quarterbacks”.

Magic’s coach Scott Skiles had all the praise for James saying that according to me James is probably the best player much due to the vision he possesses which makes it hard to defend against him. Give him a steady diet of running and double-teaming him or whatever, he’s going to carve you up.

Orlando entered Monday with the third-best field-goal percentage defense in the National Basketball Association, but the Magic played horrendous defense against Cleveland.

The Warriors have a chance to break the record they now share with the 1948-49 Washington Capitols and 1993-94 Houston Rockets when they host the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night.

The Magic were led by Andrew Nicholson’s 18 points.

Miami would eventually lead by as many as 26, both its biggest advantage and the Knicks’ biggest deficit so far this season.

The Heat snapped the Knicks’ four-game win streak, holding them to 32% shooting from the floor. But it sent the Magic scrambling, always one step behind, and the Cavs shooters made them pay early on.

“Offensively we weren’t as organized”.

LeBron James sent personalized letters to each of the more than 1,000 Akron children in his mentorship program for Thanksgiving, recognizing in the letter that some of them are struggling in school.

James finished the night with 13 assists.

Coach Stan Van Gundy said after that game that Drummond was fine. “It was more of a group effort”.

Kevin Love was the player of the game, finishing with 34 points (27 of those in the first half), eight rebounds and four assists. It was his seventh double-double of the season. He is averaging 17.7 points per game, 12.5 rebounds and 2.3 assist in wins.

Their victory Monday was one of their more dominant offensive performances.

Wade credits Spoelstra and Whiteside as two keys in Miami’s ability to get stops.

Love had some great games last season, sure, but there never seemed to be a night where he single-handedly mauled the opposing team.

“(Spoelstra) did a couple of tweaks in what we’ve been doing. Humbled on the lost in the finals, after posting another MVP season in his second season wit the Miami Heat, LeBron and the “Big 3” would find themselves in the finals for the second straight year against what I would call a up and coming version of a “Big 3” in Oklahoma City with Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden.
