Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James celebrated his 36th birthday in style on Wednesday by extending his streak of scoring 10 points or more to 1,000 straight games.

James passed Michael Jordan for the record back in 2018, when he recorded his 867th straight game with 10-plus points.

The last time LeBron failed to score 10 or more points in a game was back on Jan 5, 2007 - an eight-point outing against the Milwaukee Bucks

Spurs assistant coach Becky Hammon made history when she took over leading the team after the ejection of head coach Gregg Popovich, who received two technical fouls late in the first half. Hammon became the first woman to take charge of an NBA team.

The Lakers took charge in the first quarter and never let San Antonio back in the game, forging as much as an 92-74 advantage late in the third period.

The Spurs cut the deficit to 10 points heading into the final quarter and to eight points in the final three minutes. However, San Antonio could not get any closer as James and Anthony Davis hit big shots to close out the win.

Dennis Schroder scored 21 points for Los Angeles, Davis hit for 20, Wesley Matthews had 18 and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Montrezl Harrell contributed 10 each for the Lakers. Harrell grabbed a game-high nine rebounds.

The Lakers played without guard Alex Caruso for the second straight game under the NBA’s health protocols. He is the first Los Angeles player to miss a regular-season game because of COVID-19.
