He finished with 28 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in the Lakers’ 129-123 overtime win against the New York Knicks, recording his first triple-double of the season and moving him to within 89 points of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s all-time scoring record.

He also surpassed Mark Jackson and Steve Nash to move up to fourth place on the NBA’s all-time assist list.

One of the greatest passers ever.
