James surpassed the mark held since April 1984 by Abdul-Jabbar, who watched the game from a baseline seat near the Lakers’ bench and then joined a clearly emotional James on the court after the historic basket. While James made history, the Lakers took another discouraging loss. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 30 points and Jalen Williams had 25 for the Thunder.
