Last night's Lakers game provided a bit of history in their win
From NBA.com
LeBron and Lonzo made history side by side on Saturday.
Triple-doubles are rare enough. Even rarer is the air in which two teammates accomplish the feat on the same night.
That's what happened in Charlotte on Saturday, where LeBron James (24 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists) and Lonzo Ball (16 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists) each logged a triple-double in L.A.'s 128-100 rout over the Hornets.
The Laker duo becomes just the eighth set of teammates in NBA history to earn triple-doubles in the same game. Jason Kidd and Vince Carter were the most recent teammates to accomplish the feat, having done so on April 7, 2007. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson did it for the Lakers in 1982.
