Lebron Posts Triple Double In Game 1 Victory
Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers face the Washington Wizards for the first round of their playoff quest. As early as game 1, Lebron showed them who is boss as he records a triple double in the Cavs’ 97-86 victory. Lebron posted 32 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds.
What makes this triple double special to Lebron is the fact that only two other players have done this kind in NBA history. Aside from Lebron, only Magic Johnson in 1980 and Johnny MacCarthy in 1960 have posted a triple double in a playoff debut.
It’s another sweet moment in history and another honor for Lebron James but I’m sure all he really cares about is that his team got the W. It’s not time for Lebron to celebrate since a lot can happen in a best of seven series.
