James also paced Los Angeles with 10 assists, his highest mark since he dished 11 dimes against Sacramento on Dec. 21. The 38-year-old has shown no signs of slowing down in his 20th NBA campaign, as he's averaging 28.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 2.0 three-pointers on the season while shooting 51.1 percent from the field and 74.9 percent from the charity stripe.
