LeBron and AD returned at the 2:29 mark of the 2nd Q, LAL down 8, and led a 9-2 run, capped by an improbable buzzer-beating 3 from midcourt by Schröder, to make it a 1-point deficit at the half. – 8:33 PM

Strong defensive start from this bigger LAL lineup, with AD, LeBron and Hachimura, plus Brown moved to the 2, has LAL up 11-5 after the first time out.
NYK just 2 for 14 from the field. – 7:46 PM

Good thing the crowd is here to see LeBron James — Barrett is 0-for-4, Randle is 0-for-3, Grimes 0-for-2 and only Brunson has scored other than a Randle free throw. Knicks trail 10-5 midway through first. – 7:45 PM

More on this storyline
James’ ability to sustain at such a high level remained otherworldly, as the 38-year-old star is now 89 points away from passing Abdul-Jabbar’s record scoring mark that has stood for nearly 39 years. “He’s just a kid who’s grown before our eyes, the last 20 years at this level, has done nothing but play the right way and make the play that’s in front of him,” Lakers coach Darvin Ham said. “Regardless of how much he’s been criticized for a while for not taking the last shots and the overpassing, he’s just making the right plays. You saw that again tonight.” -via ESPN / February 1, 2023
HoopsHype: LeBron James on the scoring record 👂 pic.twitter.com/ZsF6oRp0kA -via Twitter @hoopshype / February 1, 2023
James was asked if he thought the achievement — a hallowed record in not just basketball but across all professional sports — was now “heavier” with it being so close. “It’s not getting heavier,” he said. “I’m going to do it. I mean, it’s just a matter of time when I’m going to do it. It’s not heavy. I’m not going anywhere. I’m going to be in this league for at least a few more years. “I’m going to do it. It’s not heavy at all.” -via ESPN / February 1, 2023
