James finished with 16 points, 12 assists, and 11 rebounds in Tuesday's 128-96 win over the Detroit Pistons. It's his fifth triple-double in the last nine games.
His previous high in a season was seven, set in both 2007-08 and 2008-09. The 32-year-old's third in the league in the category this year, trailing fellow MVP candidates Russell Westbrook and James Harden.
In his second stint with his hometown Cavaliers, James owns numerous club records, including most points, minutes, free throws, steals, win shares, usage percentage, and VORP.
The veteran forward's having his best year to date as a playmaker for the first-place squad, averaging a career-best 8.9 dimes in his 14th season.
