Tuesday was the 26th time in 56 regular season games Lebron James scored 30 against the Celtics.
Since he entered the NBA in 2003, no one else has come close.

Vogel: “LeBron is fantastic on both sides of the ball. He sets the tone for us with his voice. He’s our QB on both sides of the ball. Defensively, he’s barking out commands, getting guys in the right spots and knowing our schemes down to a tee better than anyone on the floor.” – 2:00 AM

One of the things you have to watch for when you get your offense in gear is relying a bit too much on the fun at that end of the floor. Celtics weren’t consistent enough with defensive pressure in first half v. Lakers.. And ball pressure is what started their recent improvement. – 11:24 PM
