James had 24 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, while Ball had 16 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are the only other Lakers to accomplish that feat in the same game, doing so on Jan. 22, 1982. He was unstoppable throughout on penetration, helping the Lakers outscore the Hornets 40-17 in the third quarter and build a 30-point lead with his second triple double of the season and 75th of his career. He did not play in the fourth quarter with the game out of reach. In Memphis, James Harden had 32 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists for his second consecutive triple double, and Houston held off a fourth-quarter burst to beat Memphis 105-97.
