Cavaliers' LeBron James: Generates 27-13-5 line in losing effort

James recorded 27 points (13-22 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 13 assists and five rebounds across a season-high 45 minutes in Friday's 113-106 loss to the Bulls.

Analysis:

While the Cavaliers extended their losing streak to three games, James bounced back well from a season-low 16 points in Thursday's tilt with the Clippers. James is averaging a career-high 9.3 assists per game while freeing up Kyrie Irving to take on more of the scoring responsibilities, but the perennial All-Star has been sloppy of late. The eight turnovers he posted Friday were his most of the season, and he's given the ball away at least five times over the last four contests.
