CHARLOTTE -- LeBron James joined Michael Jordan in the record books as perhaps the most consistent scorer in NBA history while playing against the team that Jordan owns on Wednesday.
James tied Jordan's all-time league record of 866 consecutive games with 10 points or more in the first half of the Cleveland Cavaliers' game against the Charlotte Hornets, hitting the mark off an alley-oop from JR Smith with 6:10 remaining in the second quarter.
He kept up the scoring from there, totaling 35 points by the end of the third quarter, accounting for the 20th time in his career he scored 30 or more points against the Hornets, which tied Jordan in a separate record for most 30-point games by a Hornets opponent.
