LeBron James scored just 10 points in the Cavaliers’ ugly 127-99 loss to the Timberwolves last night, his lowest scoring output in a decade.
Though it was indicative this time, points aren’t always the best measure of LeBron’s performance. He’s capable of affecting the game in so many ways.

Worse yet, the Cavaliers got blitzed so badly in fewer than 27 minutes with LeBron on the court. That’s, by far, the worst single-game plus-minus per 48 minutes of his career:
LeBron and the Cavs surely hope this was just a night to forget. They’ve established they can dial it up when it counts.
