LeBron James set a record, which was good. Stephen Curry set a personal record, which was not good.

Detroit faced the biggest early deficit of any team this season. Golden State faced the biggest overall deficit of any game this season.

And Victor Wembanyama showed, yet again, that the unusual is his usual. A look back at a most eventful Thursday in the NBA:

LeBron passes Kareem — again

Another record for LeBron James: He has now played more regular-season minutes than anyone in NBA history, passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

When counting playoffs, James had the minutes record long ago. But this is yet another entry for the glowing resume, which includes — among many other things — passing Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA’s all-time scoring leader as well.

“It’s a pretty cool honor,” James said.

Steph goes 0 for 7

This has never happened before: Stephen Curry played more than 11 minutes in a game and didn’t make a single field goal. The Golden State star went 0 for 7 from the field, 0 for 6 from 3-point range in a 144-93 loss to Memphis.

“Embarrassing,” Curry said.

It was that kind of night for the Warriors. Because …

Warriors trail by 57, lose by 51

… as we were saying, it was a bad night for Golden State. The Warriors trailed Memphis by 57 points in the fourth quarter, then lost by 51.

Both of those numbers — biggest deficit and biggest final margin — were the worst in the NBA so far this season.

“You lose by 51, that’s humbling,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said.

But on the plus side …

There also was a winning team in that 51-point game. It should be noted that there have been two games where a team has won by 45 points or more this season.

Memphis won by 51 over Golden State on Thursday. And Memphis also won by 45 over Portland on Nov. 10.

The Pistons dug a really big hole

Credit to Detroit: The Pistons lost by only seven to Utah on Thursday, 126-119.

That means the Pistons played a really — really — good final three quarters. Because the first quarter was awful.

Detroit trailed 48-19 in the first quarter. The 29-point deficit in the opening 12 minutes was the worst by any team in a first quarter so far this season — and the biggest such deficit by any Detroit team since at least 1996.

In that same game, Utah’s Jordan Clarkson and Detroit’s Ron Holland both got ejected for squaring up as if they wanted to fight. No punches were thrown.

Welcome home, KAT

Respect, Minnesota. Timberwolves fans did the right thing and cheered Karl-Anthony Towns in his first game back after being traded to the New York Knicks.

Evidently, they made him feel right at home again. Towns had 32 points, 20 rebounds and six assists and the Knicks blew out the Timberwolves 133-107.
