Lakers vs Kings: 39-year-old LeBron James sets new record in Lakers’ comeback win over Kings

Lakers are now just the third team to remain unbeaten so far this season.

LeBron James will be turning 40 in December, but he’s showing no sign of slowing down. The Lakers star led the charge as the Los Angeles Lakers came from behind to register a stunning 131-127 win over the Sacramento Kings on Saturday.

The Lakers were ahead at half-time and were looking set for a comfortable win but Kings made a comeback in the third quarter to lead 94-87. However, James, who was kept quiet for most of the game, unleashed himself in the fourth quarter. He scored 16 points, grabbed 5 rebounds, and dished out an assist, shooting a perfect 6-for-6 from the field, including an 11-0 solo run in just 1 minute 24 seconds.
