For the second Monday night in a row, LeBron James was heckled by fans in the stands and for the second Monday night in a row, James threw daggers into the hearts of the opponents in a road victory for the Los Angeles Lakers.
LeBron finished with 21 points, nine of which came in the final 1:12 of the game, including a huge 3-pointer to give the Lakers a 4-point lead at the 1:12 mark. James followed that 3-pointer with a block of Clint Capela and then another jumper, followed by four free-throws. James didn’t start off the game very well from the field, but he closed the game out when the Hawks pushed the Lakers.
