In a moment that marked the end of a legendary era in the NBA, LeBron James's unprecedented streak of consecutive games with double-digit scoring finally concluded at 1,200. The historic run ended on Thursday, December 4, 2025, as James's Los Angeles Lakers secured a 119-110 road victory over the Toronto Raptors at Scotiabank Arena.
The End of an Unmatched Record
The four-time NBA champion and all-time leading scorer finished the contest with just 8 points, snapping a streak that began on January 5, 2007. For over 18 years, through multiple teams and seasons, James had consistently reached at least 10 points, a testament to his durability and sustained excellence. The previous record, held by Michael Jordan, stood at 866 games.
The game itself was a competitive Eastern Conference matchup. Despite James's unusually quiet night on the score sheet, the Lakers managed to pull away for a nine-point win. Key contributions from other Lakers players filled the void, ensuring the team left Toronto with a victory, even as a major personal milestone came to a close.
Game Details and Toronto's Effort
The action in Toronto saw the Raptors put up a strong fight against the Western Conference contenders. Sandro Mamukelashvili, wearing number 54 for the Raptors, was notably tasked with defending James during pivotal moments in the second half, as captured in images from the game.
Ultimately, the Raptors' efforts fell short as the Lakers' depth proved decisive. The final score of 119-110 handed Toronto a loss on their home court, overshadowing the larger narrative of James's streak ending on Canadian soil.
Reaction and Legacy of the Streak
The conclusion of this streak reverberated throughout the basketball world. Analysts and fans alike reflected on the sheer longevity required to maintain such a level of performance across nearly two decades. The streak survived injuries, load management trends, and the natural aging process, standing as one of the most durable records in professional sports.
While the personal milestone ended, James's focus, as always, remained on the team result. The win improved the Lakers' record as they continue their push in the 2025-26 NBA season. For the Raptors, the game served as another data point in a season of building and competition within the Atlantic Division.
The historic night in Toronto will be remembered not for a singular dominant performance by James, but for the closing of one of the most remarkable chapters in basketball history. His legacy, however, remains firmly intact, defined by much more than just a scoring streak.
