The NBA giveth and the NBA taketh away. LeBron James has been denied what was a record breaking triple-double in a 107-102 win against the New York Knicks Wednesday night.
Say what?
The league said the rebound with 39.3 seconds left should have been credited to Cavaliers center Ben Wallace who tapped a loose ball that James grabbed.
Wallace finished with two rebounds but probably should have had more as several tip-outs were not scored as rebounds by the stats crew at Madison Square Garden.
A release from the league said: "All NBA games are reviewed to ensure the accuracy of the game statistics."
James finished with 52 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are among the favorites to win the 2009 NBA Championship (+250 odds pay $250 for every $100 bet at SBG Global). In fact, they have the same odds as the Boston Celtics and a half point longer than the Los Angeles Lakers (+200 odds). The Cavs have won 4 straight games.
