LeBron James keeps moving forward, even on nights where he ends regulation in open disgust with the officials.
James entered Saturday night’s game against the Boston Celtics needing just 158 points to pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA’s all-time scoring leader. He finished the night with 41 points on 15-of-30 shooting (6-of-12 from deep) with nine rebounds and eight assists.
James is now only 117 points away from Abdul-Jabbar’s all-time mark.
That performance was just one part of a wild game against the Eastern Conference-best Boston Celtics, who were saved by a questionable no-call on a would-be James game-winner and pulled out a 125-121 win in overtime.
