LeBron James’s remarkable streak of scoring at least 10 points in every regular-season game came to an end on December 4, 2025. In the Los Angeles Lakers’ 123–120 win over the Toronto Raptors, he was held to just 8 points — the first time he’d scored in single digits since January 2007. The streak had lasted an NBA-record 1,297 consecutive games.
Despite the off-night scoring, James delivered when it counted most: he dished the game-winning assist to Rui Hachimura, who nailed a buzzer-beating three-pointer to secure the Lakers’ victory. James said afterward that the streak ending didn’t bother him. “None,” he replied. “We won.”
The end of the streak doesn’t tarnish the achievement so much as highlight James’s adaptability and leadership. Rather than chasing personal numbers, he prioritized the team’s success — a decision that underscores why he remains one of the NBA’s greatest all-around players, even after nearly two decades of consistency.
