James, who entered the game one point shy of 50,000 total in regular season and playoff scoring, got across the threshold with a first quarter three before making four more. He scored 34 to lead the Lakers, along with eight rebounds and six assists, either he or Doncic perfectly picking the opposition apart at all times. “In order for us to be the team ultimately we need to be, the ball needs to be in Luka’s hands,” James said. “And then when Luka sits down, the ball can be in my hands or be AR’s hands when he gets back. But I’m very comfortable playing off the ball and finding my spots, running the floor, getting the outlet pass from Luka, being on the backside of the defense if he’s either being blitzed in pick-and-rolls or switched in pick-and-rolls. He attracts so many eyes and bodies. -via Los Angeles Times / March 5, 2025
Fittingly, Doncic got the assist on James’ milestone bucket. “Yeah, it’s amazing,” Doncic said. “Watching him do this stuff at this age, it’s just unbelievable like 50k points… it’s I can’t even explain how insane that is. He might get to 70k, you never know.” The Lakers, still without Rui Hachimura and Austin Reaves, got 13 points from Dalton Knecht and 12 each from Jared Vanderbilt and Shake Milton. -via Los Angeles Times / March 5, 2025
