  • Lebron James Has Triple Double In Season Opener

    Knicks vs. Cavaliers - Game Recap - October 25, 2016 - ESPN

    CLEVELAND -- LeBron James took time to reflect as the Cleveland Cavaliers raised their championship banner.

    Then it was business as usual.

    James had his 43rd career triple-double, Kyrie Irving scored 29 points and the Cavaliers beat the New York Knicks 117-88 on Tuesday night in the NBA season opener.

    James scored 19 points and added 11 rebounds and 14 assists in front of a raucous home crowd that was on its feet from the pregame ceremony until late in the game, celebrating the city's first championship in 52 years.

    "It was great to have a moment like that," he said. "It was difficult to focus on the game but we did a great job, especially in the second half."

    James, who got choked up while speaking to the crowd before the game, continued his perfect record on ring nights. He was 2-0 when the Miami Heat players were presented with their championship rings.

    "There were so many emotions," he said. "To see us win the finals and tonight being that last exclamation point to receive your ring in front of your fans was a great moment."
