“LeBron James Shatters Records with Epic 42-Point Performance as Lakers Top Warriors 120-112”
LeBron James etched his name in NBA history on February 7, scoring a dazzling 42 points to join Michael Jordan as the only players over 40 to drop 40+ in a game. In an extraordinary display of skill, James also grabbed a season-high 17 rebounds, dished out eight assists, and drained six 3-pointers, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a 120-112 victory over the Golden State Warriors. This win marked their fourth straight and 10th in their last 12 games.
Austin Reaves added 23 points, while Gabe Vincent contributed 15 on five 3-pointers, fueling the Lakers’ offensive attack. Rui Hachimura and Jaxson Hayes chipped in with 11 points each, and Jarred Vanderbilt dominated the boards with 14 rebounds.
Stephen Curry was a one-man scoring machine for the Warriors, finishing with 37 points and seven rebounds, including 19 points in the fourth quarter. Despite Curry’s hot hand, Golden State fell short, with Buddy Hield and Moses Moody adding 14 points each. Draymond Green and Pat Spencer also posted 13 points apiece, but the Warriors’ late-game push wasn’t enough to overcome the Lakers’ resilience.
