LeBron notches 7th career Finals triple-double
LeBron James, as he's done throughout the entire postseason, gave his Cleveland Cavaliers a little bit of everything in the winner-take-all Game 7 on Sunday night.
With minutes to go in the fourth quarter, The King had earned himself his seventh career triple-double in an NBA Finals game with 26 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds. He finished with 27 points, 11 assists, and 11 rebounds in a 93-89 Cavs win.
It was the 16th triple-double of his playoff career, and 58th overall including regular-season games.
He's just the second player ever to notch a triple-double in a Finals Game 7, joining James Worthy of the Los Angeles Lakers in 1988.
Magic Johnson is the league's all-time leader in Finals triple-doubles with eight. He and James are the only players with more than two.
