LeBron, Lonzo become 1st teammates with triple-doubles since 2007
Los Angeles Lakers stars LeBron James and Lonzo Ball finished with triple-doubles in their 128-100 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday.
It's the first time teammates have accomplished this feat in the same game since Jason Kidd and Vince Carter in 2007 with the New Jersey Nets, according to ESPN Stats and Info.
In addition, they become the first Lakers duo to do so since Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1982.
