LeBron reaches 40,000 points, but Jokic, Nuggets use finishing kick to beat Lakers 124-114

Associated Press  

LOS ANGELES — LeBron James reached 40,000 points, but Nikola Jokic had 35 points and 10 rebounds and the Denver Nuggets made a late push to beat the Los Angeles Lakers 124-114 on Saturday night. James had 26 points and nine assists while checking off his latest milestone, but the Lakers couldn’t get their third straight win. James spun around Porter and drove the lane to hit a layup with 10:39 left in the second quarter to reach 40,000 points as he tries to put the career scoring record out of reach. “Obviously, it’s a great moment, obviously it would be better if we get the win.” The two teams were essentially even through the first 44 minutes before Denver used the one-two punch of Jokic and Murray, with spacing and shot-making around them, to excel in crunch time.
