LeBron James scored 30 points, becoming the NBA's all-time leader in 30-point games, surpassing Michael Jordan’s record during the Lakers’ 119-102 victory over the Hawks.
The record-breaking shot occurred on an 18-foot jumper late in the fourth quarter, marking James' 563rd career game scoring 30 points.
Despite 18 turnovers, the Lakers' recent performance has improved, winning seven of their last nine games and holding fourth place in the Western Conference.
Notable contributions included Austin Reaves with 20 points and Anthony Davis with 18 points and 19 rebounds.
In a key moment, James hit back-to-back turnaround jumpers that echoed Jordan's style, contributing to the Lakers' strong finish.
