3 — Players in NBA history who lead their respective franchises in points, rebounds and assists (James, Michael Jordan and Kevin Garnett).
5 — Game-winning buzzer-beaters for James. Since he entered the league in 2003, only Kobe Bryant and Joe Johnson have more.

10 — Consecutive 3-pointers made by Karl-Anthony Towns over the past three games, a franchise record.
34 — NBA season-high lead changes. The game was also tied 16 different times.
40 — NBA record for total 3-pointers in a game. The previous record was set by the Mavericks (18) and Warriors (21) on March 25, 2016.
64 — Career triple-doubles for James, who is approaching Wilt Chamberlain (78) for fifth place on the all-time list.
