The Lakers lost to the Spurs on December 16, and James came back with 23 points, 7 rebounds and 14 assists, and his performance was normal. However, the Lakers gave up three starters, Davis, Reddish and Russell, an offensive and defensive core, a defensive giant, and a guard who was inconsistent but could score, and the Lakers could only abandon some abandoned rotations or rookies, but this could not prevent the Spurs from ending the losing streak.
James activated multiple milestones in this game. The first is this season's personal assist record of 14, compared to his previous maximum of 12. It was the 307th game of James' career in which he had at least 10 assists in a single game, and the closest any other non-guard in history came to James' record was 158 games.
James activated the milestone in the half, his halftime statistics were 18 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 steal, which was the 145th time in his career that he had at least 15 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the half, the first man in the new century, the second was Westbrook's 115, and the third was Jokic with 86 times.
In addition, James may also be mentioned when other players activate milestones. For example, the Clippers defeated the Warriors, Harden had 28 points, 7 rebounds, 15 assists, 4 blocks and 1 steal, which was the 318th time in his career that he had at least 25 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in a single game, fourth in history. The all-time leader is, of course, James, with 668 games. Harden also topped 25,000 points in that game, third on the active roster, behind James and Durant. Durant is in the top 10 in total scoring history this season, and James has passed 39,000 points this season and is hitting 40,000 points. For example, Brunson scored 50 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists, 5 steals, and 9 of 9 three-pointers in the Knicks' win over the Suns, and James was mentioned because he had similar statistics in 2010, with 47 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 steals, and 6 three-pointers.
