He needed 18 points entering the game to be the 38th NBA player to reach the mark. The Heat won the game 92-75 and James had a game-high 25 points.

In the first quarter, James also found Dwyane Wade slicing down the lane for his 5,000th career assist. He is the 13th player with 20,000 points and 5,000 assists. Source: CBC Sports
