LeBron's triple-double, Smith's 23 lead Cavs past Pacers
CLEVELAND -- James recorded his 63rd career triple-double -- overcoming a career-high 11 turnovers -- as Cleveland showed some signs of ending its stunning slump with a 115-108 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Friday night.
James finished with 26 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds as the Cavs, following a minor lineup switch by coach Tyronn Lue, won for just the fourth time in 11 games. However, James kept Indiana close in the fourth quarter with six turnovers -- most of them coming on errant passes.
"It's a four-interception game for a quarterback with a win," James said when asked to assess his uneven performance. "That's what I think of it. I just made some bad decisions."
With the highest turnover total by an NBA player this season, he joined James Harden and Russell Westbrook as the only players with a quadruple-double in the last 15 years.
