LeBron James ended one of the most incredible streaks in sports on Thursday. With a pass.
For the first time since Jan. 5, 2007 — six days after James’ 22nd birthday — the Los Angeles Lakers star finished a game with fewer than 10 points scored. That was by far the longest streak in NBA history, with the next-closest being Michaell Jordan at 866. Kevin Durant is the new active leader at 267, just over a fifth of the way there.

James finished the game with eight point on a rough 4-of-17 shooting against the Toronto Raptors. With the game tied 120-120, he got one last chance with the ball when Austin Reaves passed to him in the final seconds, but he opted to kick the ball out to Rui Hachimura instead.
Hachimura made a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to give the Lakers a 123-120 win.
