It wasn't one of the prettier wins of the year, but it was still great in its own way. Franchise record 58th win of the year. They should set the bar pretty high since there is still 11 games yet. All five starters scored in double figures. Dominated the boards(plus 17), haven't seen them do that in a while. We got a little spoiled lately with the lack of turnover, had 12 in this game. Delonte is starting to find his outside shot again, that is huge going down the stretch. The bigs off the bench were good, DBlock and Smiley Joe had some big boards and hustle plays. I am disappointed Kinsey isn't getting any PT though while Pavlovic/Gibson aren't producing.

Also---

With his first basket, James joined Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson as the only players in NBA history to post 2,000 points, 500 rebounds and 500 assists in a season at least four times. Robertson, who once averaged a triple-double for a season, did it six times.

Larry Bird reached the 2,000-500-500 plateau three times in his career, and John Havlicek and Michael Jordan each did it twice.

James also became the ninth player to have five consecutive 2,000-point seasons and the only active player to do so
