LeBron James earned his third straight triple double on Thursday night in Phoenix, and more importantly gave the Cavaliers their first win in Arizona in almost a decade, the Associated Press is reporting.

James finished the game with 34 points, 13 assists, 10 rebounds.  The last rebound came as the final buzzer sounded.

"For 82 games in today's NBA, it's probably impossible to average a triple double," Cavaliers coach Mike Brown said. "But if I'm going to say there is one guy who can do it, it's our guy."

James said he just does what is necessary.

"Three straight wins, that's what it's about," he said. "I try to do any and every thing for our team to win basketball games. If I've got to go out and do that, then I'm all for it."
