Toronto Raptors just ended LeBron James' most unbreakable NBA streak

If you were lucky enough to be in attendance for the Toronto Raptors game against the Los Angeles Lakers game on Thursday night, it turns out that you were witnessing NBA history.

Not only was it potentially LeBron James' last-ever game playing at Scotiabank Arena, but it was actually historic for another reason for the four-time NBA MVP and NBA's all-time leading scorer.

James was held to just eight points on the night, one of the rarest feats of his legendary career.

The last time James didn't score at least 10 points in a regular season game was nearly 19 years ago – against the Milwaukee Bucks on January 5, 2007.

That's a streak of 1,297 games in a row, 431 more than Michael Jordan's mark of 866, which sits second in NBA history.

But the streak ended for a pretty decent reason for the Lakers' side of things – James wasn't exactly having his best shooting night, and opted to pass the ball to teammate Rui Hachimura on an eventual buzzer-beater to seal the 123-120 win.

James' assist was his 11th of the night, while he was shooting just 4-for-17 from the field, with zero free throw attempts.

"LeBron's acutely aware of how many points he has… he's LeBron, he knows everything," Lakers coach JJ Redick said following the game.

James did have a shot in the game's final two minutes while sitting at eight points, but Toronto's Scottie Barnes ended up coming up with a block on the play.

"I don't even know, I'm just trying to make big plays… he's been so dominant in the game for so long, you wouldn't even be surprised (at the streak). You know, it's LeBron," Barnes said.

Asked if he had any hard feelings about the streak ending, James said, "None. We won," as per the Toronto Sun's Ryan Wolstat.

Despite the loss, the Raptors are still sitting pretty on the season, with a 15-8 record that sees them sit third in the NBA Eastern Conference.

They'll be right back at it on Friday night, as they host the Charlotte Hornets for the second half of a back-to-back, though it's hard to imagine they'll be a part of anything as historic as they saw Thursday.
