NBA: Ranking the Top 10 games of MVP contender LeBron James' season

#5 Against the Charlotte Hornets, 28th March 2018

Stat line: 41 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists with a +/- of +21

LeBron James went into this game at the Spectrum Center with a chance to tie Michael Jordan's record of 866 consecutive games with double-digit points, and he got that bit sorted pretty quick. He produced a dominant display that Jordan was not present to witness, but would've heard about - scoring 41 points on 14-of-26 shooting from the field, 4 of 8 from 3-point territory and 9 of 11 free throws.

James' tally of 41 points came about in the middle of the 4th quarter, and he went to the bench the last time in the game to a standing ovation from even the Hornets fans at the game once the Cavs' victory became virtually certain.

It was a dunkfest of epic proportions on the night.
