After LeBron James finished with 35 points, 14 assists and 12 rebounds for his third straight triple-double, Lakers coach JJ Redick said James has « mastered the game. »
LeBron James recorded the 40th 30-point triple-double of his career Wednesday, a month before his 40th birthday, in the Los Angeles Lakers’ 128-123 win over the Memphis Grizzlies.
« He’s mastered the game, and we don’t win that game, obviously, without him », Redick said after James finished with 35 points on 13-for-22 shooting (4-of-7 from 3), 14 assists and 12 rebounds.
It was James’ fourth triple-double of the season through 11 games to bring his career regular-season total up to 116. And it was his third straight, all coming in wins during L.A.’s 3-0 homestand. The Lakers are 6-0 at home to start the season for the first time since 2010-11.
