Last week: 1

Back-to-back losses to the Pistons and the Bulls hurt LeBron’s stock this week. He made up for them in another ridiculously efficient evening in Minnesota. James shot 9-12 from the field, scoring 21 points. He also pulled down 14 rebounds and dished out eight assists. Surprisingly, this was the first double-digit rebound game for LeBron this season.
