james becomes the youngest player to score 29,000 points in nba history. he's 32 years old, ten months and five days. the wiz have done a lot of chirping about how they thought they were better than cleveland last year and this year. don't make bron-bron angry. you won't like him when he's angry. james goes for 57 points on 23 of 34 shooting. only two of four on threes right there. 57 ties the cavs record. that was set by his old buddy kyrie irving. the cavaliers win 130-122. speaking of kyrie, the celtics in okc, first half, under 30 seconds left. russell westbrook for three. thunder by 18 at the break. russ would go for 19 total. third quarter, come back time. with authority, that's jalen brown throwing down. fourth quarter, celtics up 1. kyrie hits the three plus the foul. misses the free throw. you've got to box 'em out. five-point play. celtics up 6.
