LeBron James` triple-double and 2,500th three-pointer highlighted the Lakers` win at MSG, marking a historic night.

LeBron James delivered an outstanding performance in the Los Angeles Lakers` 128-112 victory over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on February 1, 2025. He achieved a triple-double, scoring 33 points, dishing out 12 assists, and grabbing 11 rebounds, marking his 10th triple-double of the season. This game was particularly significant as it marked James` 31st appearance at the iconic MSG, where he improved his record to 23 wins and 8 losses.

In addition to his impressive stats, LeBron made history by hitting his 2,500th career three-pointer, moving him into seventh place in NBA history for three-pointers made, surpassing Kyle Korver. He now trails only Reggie Miller, who holds the record with 2,560 three-pointers. The emotional weight of the game was heightened by the debut of LeBron`s son, Bronny James, who entered the game with 1:50 left and scored a left layup on his only shot attempt.

The Lakers` victory improved their record to 28-19, while the Knicks fell to 32-17. Josh Hart led the Knicks with a strong performance, contributing 26 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists in the losing effort. The Knicks will look to bounce back in their next game against the Houston Rockets on February 3, 2025, while the Lakers prepare for an away game against the LA Clippers on February 4, 2025.

LeBron James showcased his enduring talent and legacy in a historic setting, further solidifying his place in NBA history.
