LeBron puts up near triple-double in 4th as part of actual triple-double
LeBron James put up some "Inception"-like numbers against the Philadelphia 76ers.
The King finished with 30 points, 13 rebounds, and 13 assists as the Cleveland Cavaliers held off the 76ers on Saturday to win 105-98, but James' statistical explosion came in the fourth when he contributed nine points, seven rebounds, and six assists to lock up the win.
According to Elias Sports, the last player to match those tallies was Jason Kidd, who put up 11 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists in a single frame.
LeBron James produced 9 PTS, 7 REBS, and 6 ASTS in Q4 to close out his 58th career triple-double. The last player to meet all three of those levels in a single quarter was Jason Kidd (11p/8r/7a in 4th)
