James was asked if he was more surprised that he beat his personal triple-double streak at this stage of his career or that it took him this long to do it. “Probably that I did it in Season 22,” he said after notching his 117th career triple-double, the fifth most all time. “To still have the energy to do that and the effort — it takes a lot. But also, it takes great teammates along the way, too. Those assists only happen when guys are making shots, and I just try to put the ball on time, on target and then defensively, rebound and try to help on the glass with [Anthony Davis] and the rest of the guys. And sprinkle in a little points from time to time. “But waiting 22 years to do something is wild, so, that’s a good question right there.”
