LeBron James couldn't catch Kobe Bryant, so he settled for matching Michael Jordan.
James scored a season-high 52 points in his 21st career triple-double, joined Jordan as the only visiting players with multiple 50-point games at the present Madison Square Garden, and led Cleveland to a 107-102 victory over New York on Wednesday night.Two nights after Bryant set a record at the present building with 61 points, James was on pace to break it after scoring 20 in the first quarter. His scoring eventually tailed off a bit, especially after he briefly left the game in the fourth quarter after cramping up, but the skills that make him perhaps the NBA's premier all-around player remained throughout.James added 11 assists and 10 rebounds, becoming the first player since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1975 to have a triple-double in a 50-point game. James grabbed his final rebound with under 2 seconds left, then tumbled out of bounds as time expired.I gotta tip my hat to the performance of LeBron but also Al Harrington of the Knicks as well in a losing effort as he finished with 39 points and 12 rebounds
