During the game, four-time MVP LeBron James made Lakers history by moving ahead of Nick Van Exel (2,749) for tenth on the team’s all-time assists list.

Following Van Exel, the next player for James to pass will be James Worthy (2,791).

He came into the evening with averages of 25.4 points, 7.3 rebounds, 8.1 assists and 1.2 steals per contest while shooting 53.6% from the field and 41.7% from the three-point range in 66 games.
