Overview
- After a 112-100 loss at Madison Square Garden, LeBron James called playing there “everything” and acknowledged this season could be his last.
- James scored 22 points on 9-of-15 shooting with six assists and five rebounds, moving to 23-9 all-time at MSG.
- He was named an All-Star reserve for a record 22nd consecutive selection, extending his run despite a reduced role this season.
- Columnist Ian O’Connor urged James to consider the Knicks if he keeps playing, citing ties to Leon Rose, William Wesley and coach Mike Brown, though James has made no decision.
- Analysts note an expiring contract and career-low minutes per game, and the possibility of a final MSG appearance drove secondary-market ticket prices into the hundreds and thousands.
