SAN ANTONIO -- Last year, LeBron James made history when he was named MVP of the inaugural in-season tournament. Friday night, as the Los Angeles Lakers opened their tournament defense, he made some personal history.
James scored the Lakers' last four points in a 120-115 group-stage win over the San Antonio Spurs and finished with 15 points, 16 rebounds and 12 assists for his fourth straight triple-double -- the most he's had in a row during his 22-season career.
And he did it on a night where he said he "played like s---" and "was not in a good rhythm" after taking a season-low 12 shot attempts and committing a season-high seven turnovers.
