LeBron James delivered another milestone night, guiding Los Angeles to a convincing win with history on the line. Yankee Scores reports.
James Ties Kareem in Career Wins
James finished with 21 points, 12 assists, and 10 rebounds, recording his third triple-double of the season and the 125th of his career. The victory marked his 1,228th career win, tying Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most in NBA history. His energy set the tone early, highlighted by two emphatic dunks in the first quarter off feeds from Austin Reaves.
Lakers Keep Rolling Without Doncic
With Luka Doncic serving a one-game suspension after his 16th technical foul, the Lakers still found their rhythm. Austin Reaves added 19 points and nine assists, while Luke Kennard and Jaxson Hayes each scored 19 off the bench. Deandre Ayton chipped in 12, and Los Angeles improved to 7-6 this season without Doncic. The team has now won 12 of its last 13 games.

Wizards Falter Again
Will Riley led Washington with 20 points, and Justin Champagnie added 18. Despite briefly leading after the first quarter, the Wizards collapsed under a 38-13 Lakers run before halftime. Hayes capped an 11-0 flurry that gave Los Angeles control, and James helped quiet a late push in the third. Washington has now lost 19 of its last 20 games.
Playoff Picture
The Lakers would have clinched a playoff berth and the Pacific Division title with the win and a Phoenix loss, but the Suns’ victory over Memphis delayed the celebration. Still, Los Angeles looks poised for a fourth straight postseason trip.
What’s Next
The Wizards host Philadelphia on Wednesday, while the Lakers return home to face Cleveland on Tuesday, with James chasing another milestone.
