"The last time James scored in single digits was on January 5, 2007. He has scored in double-digit figures for 1297 games consecutively. That is, until he played tonight in Toronto. His streak ended in Toronto, but still with a victory for James. He shot 4-of-17 from the field, but he finished with 11 assists, including the most important one of the night."
"Perhaps the most poetic component of the streak ending was James' final choice in the game. With the clock running down in a tie game, and James lodged at eight points, he could easily have chosen to shoot to attempt to keep the streak alive and win the game. Instead, he made the right pass to the corner to Rui Hachimura, who hit the game-winning triple."
"James' streak is perhaps one of the most impressive ones in sports. That number,1297, would rank 25th, for example, in total games played in anyone's career in NBA history. More than the total number of games played by Derek Fisher, Russell Westbrook, Dwight Howard, Steve Nash, and virtually every other player who has been in the NBA. Now it's over."
LeBron James' consecutive streak of scoring in double figures ended at 1,297 games when he finished with eight points in Toronto. The last time he scored in single digits was January 5, 2007, when he had eight points in a win. James shot 4-of-17 from the field but collected 11 assists and remained the winning player. With the game tied and the clock winding down, James passed to Rui Hachimura, who hit the game-winning three. The 1,297-game streak would rank 25th in total games played in NBA history compared with many career totals. The Raptors play the Charlotte Hornets next on Dec. 5.
