Before the game

Spoiler-free context

LeBron James entered the night 36 points behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's career total of 38,387. Abdul-Jabbar had held the NBA scoring record for nearly 39 years, so the game carried the possibility that one of basketball's most durable records would change hands in front of the former record holder.

  • Every James basket carried milestone weight, but the Lakers also needed wins while fighting to climb back into the Western Conference playoff race.
  • The record represented 20 seasons of sustained scoring and a lineage that had previously passed from Wilt Chamberlain to Abdul-Jabbar in 1984.
