After a frustrating loss against the Nuggets, the Lakers respond by beating the Pacers 128-117.

LeBron James screamed in visible agony after crashing onto his left elbow late in the Los Angeles Lakers’ 120-113 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night.

LeBron James has put the ball in the basket more than any other player in NBA history.

James already surpassed Abdul-Jabbar as the league's all-time leading scorer Feb. 7, 2023, with a step-back jump shot from the foul line extended, giving him 38,388 career points.

The Los Angeles Lakers (37-24) travel to Ball Arena for a game against the Denver Nuggets (38-24) tonight. Luka Doncic and the Lakers take the court on a three-game winning streak while Nikola Jokic has the Nuggets treading water but maintaining a Top 4 seed in the West despite injuries to key rotation pieces including Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson.

Alperen Sengun scored 28 points, Amen Thompson had 26 and the Houston Rockets used a dominant fourth quarter to beat the Portland Trail Blazers 106-99 on Friday night.
