LeBron James recorded his fifth career 40-point triple-double to help the Cleveland Cavaliers overcome the Milwaukee Bucks 124-117. James scored 17 points in the third quarter alone as he finished with 40 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists to record his 16th triple-double of the season. Cavaliers' third win in four games came in their first outing since coach Tyronn Lue decided to take some time off due to health reasons. The points score also marked an NBA season high - edging the 148 points scored by both the Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder earlier this season. The San Antonio Spurs squandered a 16-point lead against the Golden State Warriors before regrouping to win 89-75.
