Lakers-Cavs recap: LeBron’s 46 point masterpiece closes out Cleveland homecoming win

The Los Angeles Lakers have been amazing on the road and this season their two stars have been at their best in their hometowns, with LeBron James following Anthony Davis by having a monster homecoming game, as The King delivered a 46-point masterpiece on Monday night to help hold off the Cleveland Cavaliers, 115-108. James was the leader for the Lakers all night long, but James took things to another level in the 4th quarter, particularly the final four minutes of the game.

James had 21 points in the final period of the game and had 10 in the final 4:11 of game time, which came right after a loose ball foul from Collin Sexton that took James down for a few moments. It was then that James unleashed the most memorable moment of his season and perhaps one of the best moments of the NBA season so far. LeBron had a logo 3-pointer in the final 10 points.

He also capped it off with this fierce fadeaway over a double team to bury the Cavs.
