LeBron sets career high with 17 dimes, fouls out for 1st time in 3 years
Monday was a wild night for LeBron James. After forcing overtime with a bank-3 with under one second left against the Washington Wizards, the King was already heading to overtime with a career-high in assists.
Yet James then fouled out in the extra frame, the first time he's done so in a contest since Jan. 10, 2014, when he was a member of the Miami Heat.
While he was forced to watch his Cleveland Cavaliers pull out a gutsy 140-135 OT win from the bench, James finished the night with 32 points, a career-high 17 assists, and six rebounds. It was just the third 30-point, 15-assist performance of James' career, according to ESPN.
The trey to force overtime was also only the fourth time in James' career he's made a game-tying or go-ahead three in the final five seconds of regulation or overtime. He came into Monday 3-for-32 on such shots.
