With that performance, LeBron became the oldest player in NBA history to score 40+ points in an NBA game (only he and Michael Jordan have scored 40 after age 40). “What do I think? That I’m old,” LeBron said in front of his locker postgame. “I need a glass of wine and some sleep. That’s the first thing I think about.”

LeBron James had 42 points, 17 rebounds and eight assists, and the Los Angeles Lakers blew most of a 26-point lead before hanging on to beat the Golden State Warriors 120-112 on Thursday night.
