Pierce responded with 50 points, 8 assists, and 7 rebounds, but the Celtics fell short to the Cavaliers 109-113. This was one of many intense matches between LeBron and Paul. 

Cleveland Cavaliers faced the Philadelphia 76ers in 2018 when LeBron dropped another masterpiece. Despite losing the match 132-130, James outclassed every other player that night. He scored 44 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists with an incredible 50% efficiency from the three-point line.

The best triple-double of LeBron’s career came for the Cavaliers against the Denver Nuggets in 2010. The Denver Nuggets frontline was led by current teammate Carmelo Anthony. King James was simply magical that night as he dropped 15 assists in a single game, along with 43 points and 13 rebounds that same night.
