The LA Lakers and LeBron James defeat the Phoenix Suns and Kevin Durant.

The LA Lakers secured an impressive victory in their NBA home debut.

The game between the stars was hailed as yesterday's match, although fans had to look in vain for Devin Booker and Bradley Beal for the Suns, two profiles who were not fit to play. But the ones everyone wanted to see were LeBron James and Kevin Durant, and they delivered an excellent game, both playing a significant role in a high-level and fast-paced match. Kevin Durant perhaps won the individual matchup against LeBron, as he scored 39 points and kept his team in the game. However, it wasn't enough as the LA Lakers ended up winning 100-95.

LeBron James stats against Suns:
◉ 21 points
◉ 8 rebounds
◉ 9 assists 
◉ 2 blocks 

Durant stats against Lakers: 
◉ 39 points 
◉ 11 rebounds
◉ 50% FG

With Durant's 39 points, he is now 12th on the all-time list of most points in NBA history, surpassing the legend Hakeem. LeBron James, of course, remains the all-time leading scorer in history, and he is now entering his 21st season in the NBA.
