Los Angeles (AP) - The Los Angeles Lakers have won the NBA top game against the Denver Nuggets 114: 93.
With 21 points, national basketball player Dennis Schröder had a large share in the home win.
The top shooter was NBA superstar LeBron James with 27 points.
According to ESPN, the 36-year-old has scored at least 25 points in a game for the 800th time in his career and also overtook Wilt Chamberlain to third on the NBA leaderboard for the most baskets scored from the game.
"It's an incredible feeling for me," said James, who also scored a triple double with double digits in three categories.
Schröder convinced against the Nuggets, in which Isaiah Hartenstein came to ten minutes on the floor and three points after hardly any appearances, in attack and defense.
“Every time a player throws himself on the ground in front of his coach for a free ball, the coach is happy.
Dennis plays hard, ”said coach Frank Vogel.
Schröder «is one of the reasons why we are defensively the best team in the league».

Schröder himself sees room for improvement in his first season for the defending champion.
"It's been fine so far," he said.
“I'm still trying to find my role a little and to present my teammates well.
I think we need a few more games.
But we win, that's the main thing. "
Maxi Kleber achieved the best value in his team with seven rebounds, but he was unable to prevent the Dallas Mavericks' 116:14 loss against the Golden State Warriors.
The Mavericks were doing well up to 91:93, but lost the last two quarters with 16 and 17 points respectively against decimated Warriors, in which Kelly Oubre Jr. scored 40 points for the first time in his career.
