‘Curry 4th quarter one-man show’ Golden State’s first consecutive win.

Defending champ Denver wins 3 games in a row

National Basketball Association (NBA) superstar LeBron James (38, Los Angeles Lakers) showed great performance in the 20th anniversary game of his debut, showing off his health, but was unable to smile brightly due to the team's loss. **[토토사이트](https://www.totosafeguide.com)**

James celebrated the 20th anniversary of his debut in the 2023-2024 NBA regular league away game against the Sacramento Kings held at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California, USA on the 30th (Korean time).

James, who was selected first overall in the 2003 NBA draft and wore a Cleveland uniform, made his NBA debut against Sacramento on this day 20 years ago.

James, who made a brilliant appearance in his debut game with 25 points, 9 assists, 5 rebounds, and 4 steals, continued to show off his top skills over the next 20 years through Cleveland, Miami Heat, and Lakers, reigning as the NBA's top star.

In February of this year, he surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 38,387 points to become the NBA's all-time scoring leader, and is recording a total of 38,721 points.

James, who faced Sacramento, his opponent before his NBA debut, in the 20th anniversary game, showed off his performance with 27 points, 15 rebounds, and 8 assists, but the team lost 127-132.

Even in James' debut game, his team, Cleveland, lost 92-106.

On this day, in addition to James, [Anthony Davis](https://totosafeguide.notion.site/totosafeguide/Lee-Chung-yong-Second-Consecutive-Defeat-in-K-League-1-1d345a98941a470f828cc6e8fb02aa1a) contributed with 30 points and 16 rebounds, and Torian Prince contributed with 20 points, but the Lakers, who were caught off guard, ended up with 1 win and 2 losses on the season, and Sacramento, led by De'Aaron Fox's 37 points and 8 assists, had 2 wins (1 loss).

I raised the number.

In the Western Conference, where the two teams belong, the defending champion Denver Nuggets defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 128-95 that day and took the lead for three consecutive wins.

Nikola Jokic exploded with 28 points, 14 rebounds, and 5 assists, and [Michael Porter Jr.](https://www.instagram.com/p/C1q2fWkp7rb) added 20 points and 9 rebounds, including 4 3-pointers.

Oklahoma City suffered its first loss after two consecutive wins in the opening game.

The Golden State Warriors won 106-95 in an away game against the Houston Rockets thanks to Stephen Curry's 'one-man show' in the fourth quarter, and followed up Denver with 2 wins and 1 loss on the season with a consecutive win following the game against Sacramento on the 28th.

Curry scored 24 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists, including 4 3-pointers in less than 2 minutes from 5 minutes and 9 seconds before the end when the team was slightly ahead at 88-87, widening the gap to 100-89, compared to the last game against Sacramento.

He scored 41 points and shone as a key player in the victory.

Golden State veteran guard [Chris Paul](https://blog.libero.it/wp/casinositewiki/2024/01/07/busan-comes-from-behind-to-win-2-1-over-bucheon/) was benched rather than a starter for the first time in 1,366 games since his NBA debut in 2005.

Paul, who played 27 minutes that day, scored 8 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds.
