LeBron James took a seat on the Cleveland Cavaliers’ bench with 10:02 left in the fourth quarter and the exodus to the exits began.
There was nothing left to see in the Cavaliers’ 129-107 victory over the Suns Tuesday. The rare packed house at Talking Stick Resort Arena was there to watch James, and with his night done, so was theirs.
James did his thing, finishing with a triple-double – 28 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists – in 33 minutes. Phoenix did its thing, too. It was the Suns’ sixth straight loss, the 21st in the past 23 games, and in doing so, they became the first team to lose 50 games this season.
