Per ESPN, James tied a career high with 17 assists and the Cavs hit a season-high 20 3-pointers while setting a new franchise record by hitting 10 3s or more for the 17th straight game.

"They put in the work first of all," James said of his teammates who combined to go 18-for-35 from 3 (he went 2-for-3 himself). "Individuals who make the shots on the 17 assists that I had, they put in the work. My job is when I have two on the ball or I see a guy running or I see a guy open, just try to put it in his pocket. I know how my teammates like the ball. I know if my teammates, each individual, if they like laces or no laces or laces out or whatever the case may be. I just try to make them comfortable for when they catch the ball all they've got to do is let it go either from the paint, from the perimeter and we live with the results."
