Cavaliers 108, Magic 100
At Orlando, Florida, LeBron James became the youngest player in NBA history to reach 4,000 career points and finished with 26 to help Cleveland beat Orlando.
James (20 years, 318 days) entered the game needing 10 points to pass Kobe Bryant (21 years, 216 days). After scoring on a jumper, two driving layups and a dunk, James reached the milestone on a 21-footer with 58.7 seconds left in the first quarter.
"I don't let individual statistics make me unfocused or more focused," James said. "I just came out and tried to attack early, and get us a big lead. We were able to take it into overtime and get a win."

Steve Francis led Orlando with 22 points and Dwight Howard had 21 points and 16 rebounds.
