LeBron James' remarkable streak of scoring at least 10 points in 1,297 games came to an end Thursday, as he finished with just eight points against the Toronto Raptors in a dramatic 123-120 buzzer-beater win.

James passed up a potential game-winning shot to get the ball to Rui Hachimura, who buried a three for the victory.

"LeBron is acutely aware of how many points he has at that point," Lakers coach JJ Redick said, according to The Associated Press.

"He did it like he's done so many times."

The 40-year-old certainly had his chances to get to 10 points but struggled from the field, making just 4-of-17 shots. However, he recorded 11 assists in the game.

The last time James failed to put up double-digit points was on Jan. 5, 2007.

James is averaging a career-low 14 points per game through six contests this season, with Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves doing most of the scoring for the 16-5 Lakers.
