It is a 10th victory for four-time NBA champion James in Christmas Day games, tying the record held by former Miami Heat team-mate Dwyane Wade.
Two-time NBA champion Kevin Durant continued his impressive return from an Achilles tendon injury that kept him out of last season as he scored 29 points in the Brooklyn Nets’ 123-95 win over the Boston Celtics.
