LeBron James matched a career-best on Sunday afternoon while turning a blowout into a thrilling win over the Dallas Mavericks.
James and the Los Angeles Lakers rallied from a 27-point hole to beat the Mavericks 111-108 at the American Airlines Center on Sunday, which matched the largest comeback win James has had in his career. It also marked the largest comeback win anywhere in the league this season, and the largest Lakers comeback win since 2002 — when they rallied from 30 points to beat the Mavericks.
NBA teams were 138-0 this season when leading by 27 or more points before Sunday.
