A day after turning 37, LeBron James reminded anyone who needed reminding that the rules of time do not apply to him.

James scored 43 points and added 14 rebounds the day after his 37th birthday to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to a 139-106 demolition of the Portland Trail Blazers.

James reached double figures in points with less than six minutes played, and recorded a double-double inside the first half.

Team-mate Russell Westbrook posted a triple-double - 15 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists - while Ben McLemore led the Trail Blazers with 28 points off the bench.
