Howeverhis Lakers squandered another spectacular performance by their star… Los Angeles suffered a new defeat this Saturday by 127-119 against the Washington Wizardswho overcame a 16-point deficit.

James failed to properly appreciate his milestone, following the loss. “Obviously, there will be a day when I can look back on this moment. But for now, I can’t separate the feeling that I have from this,” he explained. “We had a great opportunity to get some momentum into the season.”

James had 38 points, while Russell Westbrook added 22 in his return to Washington. However, a smaller lineup couldn’t stop Kristaps Porzingis. The 7-foot-3-inch (2.20-meter) Latvian scored 27 points, including 16 in the final period. Porzingis hit a 3-pointer with 38 seconds left to put the Wizards up by six. James was unable to respond at the other end of the court. Washington outscored the Lakers by 34 points to 20 in the fourth quarter.

Now, James trails only Abdul-Jabbar’s 38,387 points, the all-time leading scorer. He entered the game 19 points behind Malone, who had 36,928. The record seems within reach of Jamesif he stays healthy.

“I don’t allow myself to think about it. I’ve always played this game like that, for years, and these things have just happened organically, playing the right way,” James said. “I hope to achieve that at some point in my life. career, but I won’t think too much about it.
