LeBron James breaks another Michael Jordan record in Lakers’ win over Hawks

LA Times  

Lakers star LeBron James drives toward the basket during the first half of a 119-102 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Friday at Crypto.com Arena. James’ 30 points — the final two of which forced Snyder into that late timeout — gave him his 563rd 30-point game, one more than Michael Jordan for the most in NBA history. Lakers forward Dorian Finney-Smith, front right, is fouled by Atlanta’s Bogdan Bogdanovic while battling for a loose ball next to Lakers forward Rui Hachimura, left, in the first quarter Friday. The win, the Lakers’ seventh in their last nine games, was one of the team’s better all-around performances outside of 19 turnovers against Atlanta’s aggressive perimeter defense.
