LeBron James skoraði 50 stig í 119:105-sigri Cleveland gegn New York á útivelli í NBA-deildini í gær. James gaf að auki 10 stoðsendingar og tók 8 fráköst. James skoraði 7 þriggja stiga körfur og hann hitti úr 16 af alls 30 skotum sínum utan af velli. Þetta er í annað sinn sem hann skorar 50 stig í leik í NBA-deildinni í körfuknattleik í vetur.

Hann er stigahæsti leikmaður deildarinnar en Kobe Bryant hefur skora flest stig í einum leik í vetur í deildinni en Bryant skoraði 52 stig í sigurleik LA Lakers gegn Dallas s.l. sunnudag.

Kevin Garnett skoraði 31 stig og er það met hjá honum í vetur. Tracy McGrady skoraði 25 stig fyrir Houston sem sigraði Indiana 117:99 en þetta er 16. sigur Houston í röð og er það félagsmet. Frá því ljóst var að kínverski miðherjinn Yao Ming væri úr leik hjá Houston það sem eftir lifir leiktíðar hefur liðið unnið fjóra leiki í röð.

Phoenix Suns hefur ekki náð að sýna styrk sinn eftir að Shaquille O‘Neal kom til liðsins en í nótta tapaði liðið á útivelli gegn Denver, 126:113. O'Neal tók 18 fráköst og skoraði 12 stig en frá því að hann kom til liðsins hefur félagið unnið 3 leiki en tapað 5. Denver er nú aðeins einum sigurleik frá 8. sæti Vesturdeildar þar sem að Golden State situr þessa stundina.
