LeBron James Scores Season-High 37 Points in Lakers' Win Over Rockets

James surpasses Kobe Bryant's record with his 237th career game scoring 35 points or more.

  • LeBron James scored a season-high 37 points, including the go-ahead free throw with 1.9 seconds remaining, leading the Lakers to a 105-104 victory over the Houston Rockets.
  • James' performance was highlighted by a 'too small' gesture after scoring over the Rockets' Dillon Brooks, who has been a willing agitator in recent seasons.
  • James passed Lakers legend Kobe Bryant on another historical list, moving into third all time with 237 career games with 35 points or more.
  • James is now shooting 58.6% overall for the season through 13 games, which is better than his best career year with the Miami Heat in 2013-14, when he shot 56.7%.
  • James' performance came in the presence of his son, Bronny James, who was able to participate in his team's pregame warmups for the first time this season.
