LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers celebrated their first win of the NBA season following three consecutive defeats.

James arrived in Los Angeles amid much fanfare but the three-time champion was unable to prevent the Lakers from posting a 0-3 win-loss record to open the campaign.

But, James and the Lakers finally had something to cheer about after beating the Phoenix Suns 131-113 on Wednesday.

James almost posted the 74th triple-double of his career, finishing with 19 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds before sitting out the fourth quarter midweek.

Meanwhile, Suns star Devin Booker sustained a strained left hamstring in Phoenix's defeat.

Booker scored a team-high 23 points on eight-of-16 shooting with seven rebounds and seven assists.

The 21-year-old was replaced by Jamal Crawford with less than two minutes remaining in the third quarter. The Suns were down 99-81 when Booker was taken out of the game.
