Despite the aforementioned performances, the most significant achievement of the week for the three-time MVP came in a loss to the Cavaliers on Thursday, when he recorded 27 points, 20 rebounds and 11 assists for his 139th career triple-double, passing Magic Johnson to move up to third on the all-time triple-doubles leaderboard.
