The nine three-pointers that gave 27 points were a personal best for the legend.
It was also the first time that James scored over 40 points against the Clippers, which now means that he has scored at least 40 points against all 30 teams in the NBA.
This in his 1,404th game in the league during a 20-year career.
It was James' 101st game with at least 40 points.
- I managed to sink some shots and keep us in the game, but the Clippers are very good, especially when they made the three-pointers like tonight, says James according to the AP.
177 points off the all-time record
The Clippers set the stage for the victory by making 15 threes in the first half.
Additionally, James is steadily closing in on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's all-time NBA scoring record.
Abdul-Jabbar is at 38,387 and James is now just 177 points behind for second all-time in the league that was formed in 1946.
- I have reached this position without even thinking about it.
I just want to be in the moment and contribute by playing my best, says James.
