The four-time MVP and NBA champion recorded his 1,135th game with at least 20 points in his career against the Timberwolves, passing Karl Malone for the most such performances in league history.<\/p>\n<p>The Los Angeles Lakers have now lost five games in a row this year after their 111-102 loss on Friday. Although Lebron James\u2019 28 points were insufficient to win the game, they were sufficient to set an NBA record for the number of regular-season games with 20 points played in a career. <span
