Gets double-digit points for the 1,000th straight gameLos Angeles superstar LeBron James celebrated his 36th birthday on Wednesday with another NBA milestone, scoring double-digit points for the 1,000th straight game in the Lakers' 121-107 victory over Antonio Spurs. James finished with 26 points to extend his already record streak of double-digit games in the regular season. He sealed the milestone midway through the second quarter with a turnaround jump hook that gave the Lakers a 46-37 lead. James' double-digit scoring streak began on January 6, 2007, when he was playing for Cleveland Cavaliers. Shortly after James reached the milestone, Popovich was ejected from the contest for arguing with officials.
