LeBron James is getting closer.

James entered Wednesday night’s game against the San Antonio Spurs needing just 178 points to pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA’s all-time scoring leader. While he didn’t put up the performance he did on Tuesday night, James still chipped away at that number in a solid win over the San Antonio Spurs.

James finished with 20 points and nearly had a triple-double while leading the Lakers to a 113-104 win at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. He finished with 11 assists and nine rebounds while shooting 8-of-20 from the field, too.
