James joined Robertson on the exclusive list Monday when he found Kevin Love for a three-pointer in the Cleveland Cavaliers’ victory over the Orlando Magic.

James extended his streak of wins against teams from Charlotte to 21 straight dating to the 2009-2010 season.
The four-time MVP said he was just happy the Cavs could get back to.
Looking to Wednesday’s away game, though, Cleveland will still be in ideal position to defeat Toronto.
“I know I still have to be more patient because we still have two of our big-time guys not in uniform yet, but I know when we’re playing how we should play and when we’re not”, James said.
Charlotte’s Kemba Walker, who has been around for most of the losses to James, called it frustrating not to be able to beat him.
In the report, James Jones also shared his thoughts of their sloppy play after the game, stating how they need to be consistent not only in terms of winning, but also with how the team plays on the court. He’d like to make a run at 70 wins, which has only been done once.
The Cavs, of course, had a player’s only meeting after Wednesday’s loss and LeBron James blunt in saying that he didn’t think that Cleveland improved Wednesday and it seems like he wasn’t happy with the Cavs’ mindset heading into the game.
Love’s 34 points were his most since joining the Cavs last season, while J.R. Smith (26 points) and Matthew Dellavedova (15) also posted season-high scoring totals. “It wasn’t a plan going into the fourth quarter, honestly. And in this early part of the season, it’s been working for us”. “He really gets himself prepared to play every game”.
“Those five we had out there were rolling in the fourth quarter, ” Love said. For others, it’s an opportunity to dust off the questions about who’s better and where LeBron ranks among the greatest to ever play.
Nicolas Batum had 18 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists for the Hornets, who have won four of their last five games.
The team had seven turnovers and made just one of 14 3-point attempts in the second half, and were outrebounded by 12, which ultimately helped led to their downfall. His 3-pointer with 3:05 remaining gave the Cavs a 92-88 lead, and Charlotte never got closer than two again. James missed a jumper from the top of the key with 38 seconds left, giving the Hornets a shot to tie or take the lead.
The Cleveland Cavaliers is anchored on its Big Three, to bring them their National Basketball Association championship rings.
Chris Bosh added 20 points and Dwyane Wade had 17 for the Heat.
Durant showed no signs of rust after missing the past six games as he scored a game-high 27 points.

Rookie Jahlil Okafor was a rare beacon amid the gloom for the 76ers, adding 25 points in vain. He wants that building to start going up. The final result to Monday’s game had been settled minutes before, thanks to James. He was pitted against Kobe as the best players of their time, framed as an heir to Jordan, and his multi-faceted skill set has inevitably drawn comparisons to Robertson, who was a triple-double machine in his prime, just as James is a threat on any given night.
