LeBron James scored 31 points and had 10 assists in his record-breaking 19th Christmas Day game as the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Golden State Warriors 115-113 on Wednesday. The win marks James’ 11th Christmas Day victory, surpassing Dwyane Wade’s previous record.
Stephen Curry led the Warriors with 38 points, including eight three-pointers. However, his late-game heroics were not enough to overcome the Lakers. Austin Reaves scored a triple-double, finishing with 26 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists.
The game was marked by two intense battles between James and Curry, who have faced off on Christmas Day multiple times before. The Lakers’ Anthony Davis left the game in the first quarter due to a sprained left ankle.
The Warriors are now 11-13 overall, while the Lakers improve their record with the win. Golden State hosts the Clippers on Friday, while the Lakers host Sacramento on Saturday.
