In a game against the Chicago Bulls, Kevin Durant of the Phoenix Suns made NBA history by passing Oscar Robertson for 13th place on the all-time scoring list. Early in the first quarter, Durant made a pull-up jumpshot from mid-range to move up the ranks. This marks his second game with the Suns, and he scored 23 points in his debut against the Charlotte Hornets.

With five weeks left in the season, the Lakers are trying everything they can to make a final push and save their campaign.
