Another milestone night for James
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 13 - 11 - 2016

[caption id="attachment_98110" align="alignleft" width="233"] Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron James shoots against Washington Wizards' center Marcin Gortat (L) and Otto Porter Jr. during their NBA game in Washington Friday. — AP[/caption]LOS ANGELES — The NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers thumped the Washington Wizards 105-94 Friday on another milestone night for superstar LeBron James.
James, 31 years and 317 days old, became the youngest player in NBA history to reach 27,000 career points — surpassing former Los Angeles Lakers great Kobe Bryant, who was 32 years and 160 days old when he reached 27,000.
Kyrie Irving led the Cavs with 29 points. James finished with 27 points, 10 rebounds and five assists.
John Wall scored 28 points, but only five in the second half as the Cavaliers built on their 58-56 half-time lead.
The Cavaliers bounced back from their first defeat of the season to improve to 7-1.
That put them alone atop the Eastern Conference after the Toronto Raptors defeated the Charlotte Hornets 113-111, thanks to guard DeMar DeRozan's late-game heroics.
DeRozan scored 10 of his 34 points in a decisive fourth quarter as the Raptors snapped the Hornets' four-game winning streak.
Toronto led by as many as 16 points before the Hornets unleashed a 16-0 second-half scoring run.
Point guard Kemba Walker scored a season-high 40 points — with 10 rebounds and six assists — for the Hornets, who led by as many as 10 in the second half before the Raptors roared back.
Elsewhere in the East, rookie center Joel Embiid scored a season-high 25 points to help the Philadelphia 76ers notch their first victory of the season, 109-105 in overtime over the Indiana Pacers.
Embiid converted the go-ahead three-point play with 55.1 seconds left in the extra period.
He missed 12 of 18 shots from the floor in the game, but made 12 of his 14 free-throws and scored 14 of his points in the final 4:05 of regulation and overtime.
The Portland Trail Blazers also worked overtime for a victory. Damian Lillard scored 36 points and CJ McCollum added 31 for the Blazers, who edged the Sacramento Kings 122-120.
In Oklahoma City, Blake Griffin scored 25 points to help the Los Angeles Clippers to a 110-108 victory over the Thunder.
The Clippers, off to the best start in club history, improved to a league-leading 8-1, avenging their only defeat of the season, an 85-83 setback against the Thunder on Nov. 2.
The score was knotted at 50-50 at halftime. An 8-1 scoring run early in the third quarter put the Clippers ahead and they took an 82-74 lead into the final period.
But the Thunder wouldn't go away and Russell Westbrook tied the game at 102-102 with a three-pointer with just over two minutes to play.
The Clippers answered with a dunk by DeAndre Jordan and a three-pointer by Jamal Crawford.
The Thunder battled back, but Westbrook's three-point attempt in the waning seconds was off target.
In San Antonio, Pau Gasol set season highs with 21 points and six assists as San Antonio snapped a three-game home losing streak with a 96-86 victory over Detroit.
In Orlando, Gordon Hayward scored 20 points and Derrick Favors added 18 to lift Utah over Orlando 87-74.
In Boston, Isaiah Thomas scored 23 of his 29 points in the first half to help Boston snap a three-game slide by beating New York 115-87.
Kelly Olynyk added 19 points and seven rebounds for the Celtics.
The Knicks have yet to post consecutive victories this season. They played without Carmelo Anthony in the second half — he was ejected with 4:44 left in the second quarter after picking up back-to
