The NBA’s career scoring leader made his first 3 of the night midway through the third quarter of what was his 10th triple-double of the season with 33 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists. The Lakers defeated the Knicks 128-112.

James had moved ahead of Kyle Korver into seventh place when he made his 2,450th on Dec. 4 in a game in Miami. Next on the list is No. 6 Reggie Miller, the Hall of Fame Indiana Pacers star who had 2,560.
