NBA Note - Cleveland Cavaliers James, LeBron

Nov 25, 2017 - 9:30 AM F LeBron James changed shoes at halftime on Friday night. Then, he turned the game in the Cleveland Cavaliers' favor in the second half.

James notched another triple-double and was all over the court during the Charlotte Hornets' final possession, and the Cavs hung on to beat the Hornets 100-99.

James finished with 27 points, 16 rebounds and 13 assists for his 57th regular-season triple-double and second this season. He was already in double-digit points, rebounds, and assists before the fourth quarter started, but scored just six points on 3-of-8 shooting at halftime.

Then he switched out of a yellow pair of his Nike signature shoe and into a black pair.

"I just wasn't playing well," James said. "So, I'm a little weird sometimes. I wasn't playing well, up to my standards."

He fixed that, and then some.

James equaled his game average in assists in the first quarter,

James, who has a lucrative professional relationship with Nike, said he played a small role in the design of the company's new, all black Cavs jerseys the team wore Friday night.
