LeBron James and Kevin Durant against the Miami Heat became history

The Lakers won in Orlando in the 1,612th game of LeBron James' career, surpassing Robert Parish's record. The Angelenos defended their third place, although they remain far behind the Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs, who continue to rack up victory after victory. James, at 41 years old, surpassed the mark set by the legendary Parish in his twenty-third season in the NBA, where he is also the all-time leading scorer.

The Rockets overcame Bam Adebayo's great nite, who recorded a double-double of 32 points and 21 rebounds in 45 minutes for the Miami Heat, without reward.
