LeBron James drew even with Hall of Fame point guard Jason Kidd for third on the NBA's all-time assists list in Sunday's 131-124 victory over the Indiana Pacers.

James recorded his 12,091st career assist when he found Sixers forward Dean Wade on a backdoor cut in the final minutes of the fourth quarter.

The 41-year-old finished with 15 points, six rebounds, and 11 assists, shooting 5-of-8 from the field as the Sixers moved to 11-3 with their sixth home win of the season.

James will have an opportunity to claim sole possession of third on the all-time list when Philadelphia visits the Brooklyn Nets on Monday.
