LeBron Torches Magic for 51 Points. Sets Miami Heat Record with 23 in First Quarter. »

LeBron James had a record-setting first half against the Orlando Magic on Thursday night. James set a Miami Heat record with a 23-point first quarter, then set a personal best by hitting his first 11 shots of the game. He finished with 51 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists for the most points in the NBA this season. “Anybody that questions my competitiveness, they must be looking at the game the wrong way,” James told TNT in a televised interview at halftime. James remains bothered by something Magic President Otis Smith said last summer. Referring to James’ decision to join the Heat, Smith said, “I thought he was, I guess, more of a competitor.” See game photos after the game including previous match ups against Oklahoma City, New York, and more.
