The Kings scoring streak continues.
In a matchup against the Pacers that went to the wire in the fourth, the Lakers were down by just one point, 118-119, with less than 10 seconds remaining when LeBron James delivered an elite putback off of a missed floater by teammate Luka Doncic right as the buzzer went off.
Despite going scoreless and then having just three points going into the fourth, James rallied and dropped 11 points in three minutes on four straight possessions. He finished with a double-double of 13 points and 13 boards to extend his double-figure scoring streak now to 1,283 consecutive games, an NBA record. Elite.
He did it all with none other than Indiana Fevers Caitlin Clark and Lexie Hull in attendance, too.
As James continues to prove hes still got it and is inspiring Tik Tokers to drop banger after banger in his honor he told the media after the game:
Its whatever it takes to help your teammates win, James said after the 120-119 dub, per the AP. I can do other things to impact the game, thats the beauty of my game, Ive always built it my whole life as far as being three-dimensional, being able to get my guys involved, being able to rebound, defend and sprinkle some points in here and there.
He also revealed that at first he wasnt entirely sure if he got it off in time.
The Lakers are ranked fourth in the WCF right now behind the Nuggets.
Meanwhile, the Pacers, who saw Bennedict Mathurin lead with 23 points, plus a handful of double-digit scorers including Tyrese Haliburton, will look to bounce back after the loss. They play the Wizards at Capitol One Arena tonight.
