LeBron James saw no problem with playing a season-low 27 minutes in a blowout win over the Detroit Pistons on Monday.

"You make so much a big thing about my minutes," the Cleveland Cavaliers star told the media after the game. "It's not a huge issue. But at the end of the day, when we can get a win like this, everybody benefits from it. Not just me. Everybody."

Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue compared James to other stars who earned a lot of playing time late in their careers.
