James tops 40 points for second straight game as Lakers win

LeBron James hit the 40-point plateau for the second straight game since his 38th birthday in the Los Angeles Lakers' 121-115 victory over the Hornets on Monday, and coach Darvin Ham says he's going to keep leaning on the aging veteran.

"I just want to ride him," Ham said after James played 39 minutes and 33 seconds -- the most by any player on either team. "And he allows you to do that because he takes such great care of himself. So, it's a great luxury to have."

"Last year is last year," James said. "Obviously, found a good groove last year. But this year is this year, as well. I feel really good in every facet of my game."
