James posted a triple-double in the game, as he finished with 32 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds.
The Lakers superstar did everything for them tonight, and he shot an efficient 11-for-19 from the field and 3-for-5 from beyond the arc in the process.
The win moved the Lakers to 17-18 on the season and snapped a five-game losing streak.
James has been a dominant force for the Lakers when he’s been healthy this season, and he proved on Tuesday night that he is still one of the game’s most dangerous players.
