Friday night featured a record breaking performance by LeBron James.
“The King” became the youngest NBA player to reach 29,000 points. Moreover, he surpassed Kevin Garnett and John Havlicek for 11th all time on the field goals made list.
And if that wasn’t enough, he dropped 57 points on the Wizards to end the Cleveland Cavaliers 4-game losing streak.
Last night also included quite a few “Euro-battles”.
In the “battle of the bigs” the Toronto Raptors beat the Jazz 109-100 in Utah behind 10 points and 5 boards by Ibaka while Jonas Valanciunas added 6 points and 8 rebounds.
For the losing side, Rubio had 13 points and 3 assists while the “Stifle Tower” added 15 points and 7 boards.
In another “Euro-battle” that came down to the wire, the Denver Nuggets edged the Miami Heat 95-94 with Jokic in the lead. “The Joker” had a double-double, 19 points and 14 rebounds.
Goran Dragic was superb for the Heat as he finished with 23 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists despite the loss.
Dario Saric was the winner of the “Croatian-duel”, as the 76ers beat the Pacers (121-110). The second-year man had 15 points and 6 rebounds in a win while international teammate, Bojan Bogdanovic, had 21 points in the loss.
Domantas Sabonis added 14 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists.
Kristaps Porzingis led the Knicks to 120-107 win over the Phoenix Suns. The unicorn had some highlight reel plays on his way to a 37 point night.
