Basketball News : A true honour- LeBron James on passing Oscar Robertson on NBA assist list

LeBron James said it was a "true honour" after he passed Oscar Robertson (9,887 assists) for seventh most assists in NBA history on Sunday.

But his historic night couldn''t lift his Los Angeles Lakers to victory as they lost to the red-hot Memphis Grizzlies 127-199.

The Memphis Grizzlies set a franchise record with their ninth straight win, getting 16 points and a breathtaking block from Ja Morant, who said the confident level of the team is growing with each win.

The loss ended the Lakers' four-game winning streak and a stretch in which the Lakers had won five of six.
