Toronto Raptors' Alan Anderson goes to the basket over Denver Nuggets Anthony Randolph (bottom) in Toronto Tuesday. — Reuters MIAMI — When LeBron James first heard about the streak of NBA games with at least 30 points and 60 percent shooting, he did not immediately think about who was on the list. He thought about who wasn't. Wilt Chamberlain? Not there. Michael Jordan? Not there. Shaquille O'Neal? Not there, either. In NBA history, only Adrian Dantley and Moses Malone had put together five straight 30-point, 60-percent efforts — that is, until James joined their super-exclusive club. And now, he stands alone. James scored 30 points on 11 for 15 shooting to get into the NBA record books and Chris Bosh scored 32 points and grabbed 11 rebounds as the Miami Heat beat the Portland Trail Blazers 117-104 in a wild, momentum-swinging game on Tuesday. “It kind of blew my mind,” James said. “To see how small the list was and for me to even be a part of the list, to start off, it's like, ‘Wow.'” “Wow” doesn't even come close to summing up how he's been in the last six games. He's shot 66 for 92 — and take away a “slow” 6-for-12 start at Toronto on Feb. 3, he's made 60 of his last 80 field-goal tries, a ridiculous 75 percent success rate. He's scored either 30, 31 or 32 points in all six of these games. His latest brilliance came in Miami's 1,000th regular-season win. But the only history anyone will remember was what James accomplished. Lakers 91, Suns 85: Dwight Howard had 19 points and 18 rebounds, Antawn Jamison added 19 points, and Los Angeles survived Kobe Bryant's bizarre four-point performance for its eighth win in 11 games. Bryant didn't attempt a shot in the first half and scored his first basket with 2:13 to play, finishing 1 for 8 with eight turnovers in one of the oddest games of his 17-year career. Yet the Lakers survived against the Suns, getting 17 points from Metta World Peace and maintaining a small lead down the stretch of their 12th win in Phoenix's last 13 visits to Staples Center. Michael Beasley scored 18 points and Luis Scola had 15 for the Suns, who have lost eight of 10. Phoenix is 5-23 on the road. Raptors 109, Nuggets 108: Rudy Gay hit a pull-up jump shot with less than five seconds remaining and Toronto beat short-handed Denver. DeMar DeRozan scored 22 points, Gay had 17 and John Lucas scored 12 of his 14 points in the final quarter as the Raptors won their third straight. It was the second game-winner in three games for Gay, who beat Indiana with an overtime jumper last Friday. Kyle Lowry had 11 points and 10 assists and Alan Anderson had 10 for Toronto, which made seven 3-pointers in the fourth quarter. Ty Lawson led Denver with 29 points, Kenneth Faried had 15 points and 11 rebounds and Anthony Randolph scored 16. Andre Miller scored 12 points for the Nuggets, who came in having won nine of their past 10 overall and 15 of their past 17 meetings with Toronto. Grizzlies 108, Kings 101: Marc Gasol had 24 points and 12 rebounds, Mike Conley scored 22 points and Memphis beat Sacramento. Tony Allen added a season-high 19 points to help the Grizzlies win their sixth straight over the Kings at home. Memphis entered the All-Star break with a three-game win streak, their longest in more than a month. DeMarcus Cousins scored 23 points and Tyreke Evans had 20 for the Kings. Jazz 109, Thunder 94: Al Jefferson scored 23 points, Paul Millsap had 18 and Utah ended Oklahoma City's four-game winning streak. Utah's bench outscored Oklahoma City's 49-25, and the Jazz bigs dominated the boards, holding a 16-7 edge on offensive rebounds. Rockets 116, Warriors 107: James Harden had 27 points and seven rebounds on a nagging left knee, Chandler Parsons added 21 points and nine assists and Houston beat slumping Golden State. — Agencies
