The Philadelphia 76ers beat the Indiana Pacers 131-124 in Philadelphia on November 15, as LeBron James dished out 11 assists to reach 12,092 for his career, passing Jason Kidd for third place on the NBA's all-time assists list.
The milestone came in the fourth quarter, when James set up teammate VJ Edgecombe for his 11th assist of the game and the 12,092nd of his career, moving him past Kidd. James finished with 15 points and six rebounds. He turns 42 next month and is playing in a record 24th NBA season.
Philadelphia won without Joel Embiid, who sat out for plantar fascia injury management. Jaylen Brown scored a game-high-tying 31 points and Tyrese Maxey added 27 points and six assists. The 76ers made 18 three-pointers to Indiana's eight.
Pascal Siakam led the Pacers with 31 points, 19 of them in the fourth quarter, but Indiana's late push fell short. Former 76er Kelly Oubre Jr. scored 16 points for the Pacers.
Indiana led 35-29 after the first quarter before Philadelphia took a 58-57 halftime lead and stretched it with a 39-30 third quarter. The win lifted the 76ers to 11-3, second in the Eastern Conference, while the Pacers fell to 5-9. Philadelphia visits the Brooklyn Nets on Monday; Indiana hosts the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.
