Kevin Durant passed Hakeem Olajuwon for 12th place on the NBA's career scoring list, but LeBron James and the Lakers got the win.
James made the tiebreaking layup with 1:11 to play for the Lakers, who rallied from a 12-point deficit entering the fourth to get their first victory of the new season in the home opener of James' 21st NBA campaign.. The Suns led 84-72 entering the fourth, but missed 13 of their next 14 shots and committed 10 turnovers in the next 10 minutes.
James and the Lakers acknowledged plans to limit his minutes this season, but the plan wasn't followed while James stayed on the court throughout the fourth to sweat out this win.
