LeBron James notched his 100th career triple-double despite the Lakers (13–13) suffering a 105–98 loss to a shorthanded Grizzlies' team.

James accomplished the feat within the final four minutes of the contest. He now joins his current teammate Russell Westbrook (189), Oscar Robertson (181) Magic Johnson (138) and Jason Kidd (107) as the only players in league history to record at least 100 career triple doubles.

James's stat line on his record-setting night included 20 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, four steals and two blocks. While James added another milestone to his award-winning career, the bigger issue remains how will the Lakers continue to gel and improve as a team on the court.

On a night where Memphis was without star guard Ja Morant and its best defender Dillon Brooks—who is in health and safety protocols—the Grizzles (15–11) recorded 13 steals in the first half including nine in the second quarter, setting a franchise record for steals in a quarter.
