MILWAUKEE -- Before LeBron James played his first-ever NBA game more than 13 years ago, he broke bread with Moses Malone. And Tuesday, the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar pushed past the man he affectionately refers to as Uncle Mo on the leagues all-time scoring list.With 9:11 remaining in the first quarter of the Cavs eventual?114-108 overtime win over the Milwaukee Bucks, James reached 27,410 points for his career, doing what Malone did best: scoring off an offensive rebound. The bucket edged James past Malone for eighth on the all-time scoring list.James finished with 34 points on the night, bringing his career total to 27,442.?The occasion of nearing Malone in the history books caused James to reflect on him. Malone, a three-time MVP and one-time champion, died in September 2015 at age 60.I just think [of] his dominance in his era, James said at shootaround Tuesday morning. His ability to score the ball, his ability to rebound the ball. Hes just very dominant. He was the first person that I actually got an opportunity to see my rookie year. I ate pregame lunch with him, rookie year, [before] my first game in Sacramento. He came to my hotel room in Sacramento, we ate [a] pregame meal, just talked about what its like to be a rookie in the league.He gave me a bunch of stories, and so it was very sad when I [saw] him pass. And, obviously, you know every time I saw him I called him Uncle Mo every time, because he was always just there for me. To see his name right there, and to see me with a notion of what could happen tonight, its just very special.James said he still remembers Malones message that day.It was just about hard work and dedication, James said. Whatever you give to the game, the game will give back to you. ... That was already in my head, but when you hear it from someone who had accomplished so much, it resonates even more.As James has climbed the all-time scoring ranks, he has passed a diverse group of players along the way. The past several players he passed were big men -- Malone for eighth, Elvin Hayes for ninth, Hakeem Olajuwon for 10th -- but he also found himself stacking his accomplishments against wing players: Oscar Robertson for 11th and?Dominique Wilkins for 12th.Thats what makes our game so great, James said. Youve got so many different players, so many different facets, so many different skill sets, and then at the end of the day, theyre all greats for a reason in their own right. So this game has seen a lot of great basketball players, a lot of great individuals, so like I said, for me, any time I see my name up there with anyone thats ranked up there with the greats is always humbling.Shaquille ONeal, James former teammate, is next on the list with 28,596 points.

MIAMI -- With one swing, Freddy Galvis ended the Philadelphia Phillies scoring drought. Soon their losing streak was over, too.Galvis hit a two-run homer to snap a streak of 18 consecutive scoreless innings for the Phillies, who stopped a six-game slide with a 6-2 victory over the fading Miami Marlins on Monday.Im just happy to get a couple of runs, Philadelphia manager Pete Mackanin said.The Phillies run total was their highest since Aug. 14. They rank last in the majors in runs, and managed only 11 while going 0-6 during a homestand last week.Everything was going weird when we were back home, Galvis said. Wed get men on base and we didnt drive them home. This win is going to be good for us.Now its the Marlins who are desperate for a victory. Theyve lost four in a row and are 11-22 since Aug. 1, with their thin depth an issue as injuries mount.We knew that we were going to be challenged depth-wise, manager Don Mattingly said. We needed a little bit of luck and everything to fall in its slots. In the past month and a half, it has probably fallen the wrong way, and it has put us in a bind.Miami fell two games below .500 for the first time since April 27 and could be headed for a seventh consecutive losing season.Philadelphias Jerad Eickhoff (10-13) allowed the first two batters to score and then settled down to pitch six innings. The Phillies have won five of his past six starts, and he overcame a 2-8 start to reach the 10-win mark for the first time.Anytime you get double-digit wins, its a huge testament to what we as pitchers try to do, Eickhoff said.Eickhoff and three relievers combined to retire the final 15 Marlins in order.Jake Esch (0-1) allowed three runs in five innings in his second major league start.Its a positive step iin the right direction for me personally, Esch said.dddddddddddd But it ended up as a loss for the Fish again. So I have to be a little bit better.The Phillies managed only one hit off Esch until the fifth, when they scored three runs. Galvis upper-deck homer made it 2-all, and Peter Bourjos tripled and came home when shortstop Miguel Rojas mishandled a one-out grounder for an error.Bourjos had three hits and scored twice. Jimmy Paredes had a pinch-hit, two-run single in the seventh.The Marlins mustered only six hits. They havent homered at home since slugger Giancarlo Stanton went on the disabled list Aug. 14 with a strained groin.GALVIS POWERGalvis has 16 homers, but his on-base percentage is only .270.We want better than that, Mackanin said of the latter stat. Its nice hes capable of hitting the long ball, but I want him to be more of a line-drive hitter. Consistency and quality at-bats are what were looking for.POOR COMMANDMarlins right-hander Austin Brice made two throwing errors -- one to first base and one to second -- in the Phillies three-run seventh.TRAINERS ROOMMarlins: RF Stanton might be available to pinch-hit soon, Mattingly said. Hes moving pretty good, Mattingly said. Hes feeling good. He has been able to swing the bat. Its just a matter of what he can do, and how safely he can do it. ... 1B Justin Bour (right ankle) might be activated Tuesday, Mattingly said. ... Rojas left with a left groin strain, and his status is day to day.UP NEXTMarlins RHP Jose Urena (3-5, 5.40 ERA) faces Phillies LHP Adam Morgan (1-9, 6.21 ERA) on Tuesday. Over his past three starts, Urena is 2-1 with a 2.04 ERA.
