It was an historic night in South Beach, as LeBron James had a career-high of 61 points versus the Charlotte Bobcats in a dominant Miami Heat victory. James' previous career-high was 56 points, as he also broke a Heat franchise record that was held by Glen Rice, who also had 56 points as his career-high.
Here are the videos below of James scoring his 57th point and his 60th and 61st:

James' stat line for the night: 61 points, seven rebounds and five assists on 22-of-33 shooting (8-10 from 3-point range).
Strange enough, Carmelo Anthony had his 62-point game this season against the exact same team. I'm sure James decided not to break Melo's mark because of this:

Anyways, this game will be remembered for a very long time. Congrats, LeBron!

Now we need to wait on Kevin Durant for his 60-point game moment...
