PHILADELPHIA (AP) — LeB-
ron James became the
youngest player to reach
25,000 career points, lead-
ing the Cleveland Cava-
liers past the winless Phila-
delphia 76ers 107-100 in
the NBA on Monday.
James had 22 points, 11 as-
sists and nine rebounds and
rallied the Cavs in the sec-
ond half against a scrappy
Philly team that had built a
15-point lead. James and
the rest of the Eastern Con-
ference champions had
enough to push back the
undermanned Sixers.
James scored the mile-
stone basket on a dunk
with 8:07 left in the fourth
quarter. The 30-year-old
James became the sixth
active player with 25,000
points and the 20th over-
all. He joined Dallas’ Dirk
Nowitzki, San Antonio’s Tim
Duncan, Minnesota’s Kevin
Garnett, Los Angeles’ Kobe
Bryant and Paul Pierce of
the Clippers.
