The Lakers needed a win after Phoenix Suns dismantled their seven-game winning streak in a cruel fashion. They ‘confused’ them, exposed their defensive flaws, made Luka Doncic commit nine turnovers. But worst of all, LeBron James didn’t come out looking good after keeping his 10+ point games streak alive. When the Lakers went to the Great White North to play against the Toronto Raptors, Bron chose a different endgame.

The Lakers won 123-120 in a game LeBron James only had eight points. That effectively ends his 19-season record of most consecutive 10+ point games. The record now stands frozen at 1297 and ran from Jan. 6, 2007 to Dec. 1, 2025.

Some would think Bron would be bitter about losing that record. But when asked in the locker room if he felt any way about it, he had a clipped answer. “None.”

His only takeaway from this game was. “We won.” And how? They didn’t have Luka Doncic who stayed behind to welcome his second child. The Raptors have been pretty dominant in their homestead this season. The Lakers not only won this game, they’re now 6-0 against the Raptors since 2022.

James was accused of being selfish in Monday’s game for hogging the ball. He was also noticeably sluggish during the game and couldn’t keep up against old rival, Dillon Brooks. He barely made it to 10 points in that Lakers loss and no one was happy.

Tonight was different. Bron had the final possession with the game tied at 120-120. He had a chance to score a two, maybe even a three. He could’ve had 10 points. But in the last seconds, he passed the ball to Rui Hachimura who made the game-winning three. LeBron was nowhere near disappointed. He celebrated very boisterously in fact.

This is a developing story.
