Apr 10, 2026; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (23) controls the ball against Phoenix Suns forward Ryan Dunn (0) during the first half at Crypto.com Arena. Mandatory Credit: Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images LeBron James scored 28 points and dished 12 assists to become the fourth player in NBA history to top 12,000 in a career, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a convincing 101-73 victory over the visiting Phoenix Suns on Friday night.
Luke Kennard added 19 points in the victory that assured Los Angeles (52-29) will finish no lower than fourth place in the Western Conference and have homecourt advantage in a first-round playoff series.
The Lakers remain one game behind the third-place Denver Nuggets (53-28) with one game to play, and Los Angeles owns the tiebreaker edge.
Dillon Brooks scored 12 points and reserve Royce O’Neale added 11 for the Suns (44-37), who were without star Devin Booker (ankle). Phoenix scored just 25 second-half points in a contest that meant nothing after it previously locked up the No. 7 spot in the West and a home play-in game.
The Suns’ Grayson Allen exited in the second quarter due to a left hamstring injury and didn’t return. He had eight points in 13 minutes.
Assist No. 12,000 came less than five minutes into the game when James collected a rebound on the defensive end and threw a long chest pass to the other end. Deandre Ayton caught the ball over the smaller Collin Gillespie and put it in the hoop.
That was James’ second assist of the contest. At the game’s end, James’ total sat at 12,010.
Former Utah Jazz star John Stockton is the all-time leader with 15,806 career assists. Recently retired Chris Paul (12,552) is second and Jason Kidd (12,091) stands third.
Rui Hachimura added 13 points and Ayton scored 10 for the Lakers, who shot 50.7% from the field and were 8 of 20 (40%) from 3-point range.
James had 14 points and five assists in the first quarter. Los Angeles led 30-14 late in the period before the Suns went on a 22-5 burst and took a 36-35 lead in the second quarter on a 3-pointer by O’Neale.
The Lakers recovered to lead 57-48 at halftime. James had 22 points and Kennard added 17 in the half.
Late in the third quarter, James scored on a layup to push the lead to 17. Then he stole the ball and cruised uncontested for a ferocious dunk that made it 79-60 with 1:12 left in the period.
Los Angeles held an 81-64 edge entering the fourth quarter and led by as many as 29 as Phoenix managed just nine final-quarter points on 4-of-21 shooting (19%).
The Suns committed 24 turnovers and shot just 33.8%, including a shaky 7 of 40 (17.5%) from behind the arc.

Apr 10, 2026; Los Angeles, California, USA; Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (5) hits a three-run home run home run against the Los Angeles Dodgers during the third inning at Dodger Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images Max Muncy’s two-out solo home run in the bottom of the ninth capped off his second career three-run game, and it gave the Los Angeles Dodgers an 8-7 walkoff win over the Texas Rangers Friday night in Los Angeles.
Andy Pages homered and collected his fourth three-hit game of the season, and the Dodgers overcame the first blown save of the season from closer Edwin Diaz, who ended up being the winning pitcher.
The Dodgers won for the sixth time in seven games, notched their sixth comeback win this season and became the first team in Major League Baseball to reach 10 wins in 2026.
Pages continued his torrid start to the season with his team-leading fourth home of the season, a two-run shot in the bottom of the eighth inning that gave the Dodgers a 7-4 lead. Pages also hit a go-ahead two-run double in the sixth inning, giving the Dodgers a 5-4 lead after they trailed 4-2.
The Dodgers took a 1-0 lead on Muncy’s home run in the second inning. Then former Dodgers star Corey Seager hit a three-run home run to give Texas the lead.
Seager hit his second three-run home run against the Dodgers, with whom he was a two-time All-Star, National League Rookie of the Year, World Series and National League Championship Series Most Valuable Player.
Muncy’s second home run made it 3-2 for Texas in the fourth. Wyatt Langford homered off Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow to make it 4-2 before Hyeseong Kim hit a sacrifice fly for the Dodgers.
Pages’ home run had the Dodgers in control going to the ninth, but Diaz gave up a two-run home run to Evan Carter and a tying single to Ezequiel Duran with two outs. That set the stage for Muncy’s winner off Rangers reliever Jacob Latz (0-1).
Prior to the game, the Dodgers held a moment of silence for the late Davey Lopes, who passed away earlier this week. Lopes was part of one of the most productive infields in major league history, the Dodgers’ second baseman for most of the 1970s and into the 80s.
