LeBron James seized his 16th triple-double of the season and third in their last four games as the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Milwaukee Bucks, 124-117, on Monday night. James had an outstanding performance doing everything at both ends of the floor recording 40 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block. All-Star Forward, Kevin Love, returned after missing six consecutive weeks with a broken left hand and had one fine performance finishing the game with 18 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 blocks for the Cavs. Kyle Korver also returned and scored 12 points with 6 rebounds. Jeff Green added 14 points and 3 assists and Jordan Clarkson finished the game with 17 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had 37 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1 steal and tallied a perfect 11 for 11 at the free throw line for the Milwaukee Bucks. Khris Middleton helped Giannis and scored 30 points and had 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and a block knocking 11 of his 16 attempts from the field. Eric Bledsoe recorded 13 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. Jabari Parker and Thon Maker had 12 points each.
LeBron James took over in the beginning of the third quarter and drained back-to-back three pointers and finished the Cavs’ following possession with a monster dunk. He scored a total of 17 points in the third quarter alone. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the bucks to stay in the game and cut a 17-point deficit to 117-109; but LeBron continued to dominate, and his coast-to-coast dunk sealed the game with just a minute left.
Coach Tyronn Lue was not present during the game. He said that he’s been dealing with chest pains and a lack of sleep. Lue led Cleveland to the 2016 NBA championship after taking over for David Blatt during the season. Assistant head coach, Larry Drew, will temporarily run the team in Lue’s absence. There is no target date for Lue’s return. The Cleveland Cavaliers are 41-29 and are third in the Eastern Conference. They endured injuries, other distractions and changes in their roster as they try to reach their fourth straight Finals appearance. The next game for Cleveland will be against Toronto on Wednesday night at home while the Bucks will host Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night.

LeBron is like fine wine.
King James only gets better! Hope he joins the 76ers soon. Simmons, James, Covington, Saric /Fultz (if he could step up) and Embiid would be phenomenal
