James finished the game just with 22 points, nine rebounds, and 11 assists.

The two-time champion is playing this season with a bad back that has plagued him since the preseason but is still performing very well.
By the way, the Cavaliers superstar became the youngest player to reach that total at 30 years and 307 days.
“They are Sixer fans to death”.
He settled on “pretty cool” as a description for this latest milestone, adding that he really hadn’t had a chance to “categorize the list of things (he’s) done”.
The Akron, Ohio-raised James is only the seventh player to ever reach the 25k-point milestone in under 13 seasons in the National Basketball Association.
James turned heads over the weekend when he dressed as musician Prince at a Halloween bash.
LeBron James returned to the Cavs in the summer of 2014 and played in all four contests against the Miami Heat in the most recent season.
Reigning National Basketball Association MVP Stephen Curry scored 30 points to lead the unbeaten Golden State Warriors to a convincing 119-69 triumph over the Memphis Grizzlies and 22 points from Blake Griffin helped LA Clippers to a 102-96 win over the Phoenix Suns. Bayless made two free throws with 19 seconds left. He achieved this feat in the match “Cleveland Cavaliers against Philadelphia 76ers”. “I’ve been able to play for two great organizations”.
The 76ers led by as many as 15 in the second quarter, when Okafor scored eight of his 14 first-half points with an electric display that included posting up to score over Love and dribbling past Timofey Mozgov to nail a jump shot.
“Jahlil was tough for a while”, Brown said. The Heat trailed 63-59 in the third quarter before the Cavaliers put together a run that began with a reverse layup by James.
Meanwhile, Dellavedova continues to be solid for the Cavs as backup guard to Mo Williams and injured Kyrie Irving. J.R. Smith played five minutes before exiting the game with a knee contusion. He averaged 6.3 points through the first three games…. He had a heavy workout on Sunday and had no planned workout on Monday, so he made the trip.
“So, I don’t think he’s anxious about what his role is going to be”, James said.
“Nineteen guys?” James said. “What better way to close in on it than by me kind of high-flying a little bit”. “Now, Philadelphia is a sports town, much like Cleveland, and I think they know how to appreciate their athletes and greatness, whether it be the home team or away team”.
“The man above definitely put a stamp on it”, James said afterward. “But it’s always a process”.
Of course, it being LeBron the milestone had to be accomplished with a flourish, which LeBron added right before reaching the mark on a thunderous alley-oop dunk earlier in that fourth quarter. You got to build things from the ground up. This year, it’s about making a transition. “Hopefully it’ll happen when I’m done, though”.

Based on James’ scoring prowess over the last three seasons, he could land on the 30k points club midway through the 2017-18 season.
