LeBron James scored 21 points (8/23 shooting), grabbed 11 rebounds, tallied two steals, and handed out 13 assists for his second straight triple-double in the Los Angeles Lakers’ 103-96 road win against the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday night to improve to 5-1. James becomes the first Laker with back-to-back triple-doubles since Lamar Odom in 2006.
“We don’t really want to talk about it too much, we want to be about it. And that’s what we’ve been doing. We want to be one of the best defensive teams, if not the best defensive team, in the league. … It’s up to us to take the challenge. I think from 1 [through] 15, we’ve all done that, whoever’s in the game,” James said on defense, per Los Angeles Times.
