LeBron James became the youngest player to score 50 points in an NBA game, but his franchise-record 56 weren't enough to prevent the Toronto Raptors from beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 105-98 on Sunday.

``I probably played the best game of my life but it means nothing when it comes with a loss,'' James said.

His previous career his was 43 points verus Detroit.

``I don't care about individual stats, especially when you lose. I was disappointed to have as good a game as I had and still come out with a loss,'' James said.

At 20 years, 80 days old, James eclipsed Rick Barry as the youngest player to score 50 points. Barry was 21 years, 261 days old when he scored 57 for San Francisco against the New York Knicks, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

``He's going to set a lot more records, you know, if he develops,'' Cleveland coach Paul Silas said. ``He was just on fire tonight, he was just amazing and it was great to see.''

Jalen Rose led the Raptors with 30 points.
