LeBron James is breaking all sorts of records tonight in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals, both good and bad. After getting off to the worst start of his playoff career (0-of-9 shooting), he’s gone onto pass Karl Malone for sixth place in career playoff points and Jason Kidd for the second most career playoff triple doubles. He now trails only Magic Johnson for first all-time in postseason triple doubles.
Despite shooting just 10-of-27 from the field, he has 25 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists with time winding down in the third quarter.
With that last basket, LeBron James passed Karl Malone for 6th place on the @NBA's all-time playoff scoring list. pic.twitter.com/0ZMJ61TxI9
