LeBron James News: Across-the-board effort Saturday

James supplied 19 points (8-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals across 36 minutes during Saturday's 117-95 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

After a slow start, James, who had his first three-block game since Feb. 22 and his first game of at least five steals+blocks since Dec. 6, managed to get things going in the right direction, although it was in a losing effort. With that said, the Timberwolves did a great job of limiting James, who, along with Austin Reaves, struggled to build any real momentum. Game 2 will be in Los Angeles on Tuesday, with James attempting to reverse the narrative before the series heads to Minnesota.
