Although the playoffs are out of the question for LeBron James for the first time in 2005, he’s still more than capable of reminding everyone that he is, in fact, LeBron James.
James did that in the 2nd quarter with a 14-point outburst but his most beautiful moment of basketball came in the third quarter when he finished a reverse alley-oop dunk off a pass from Kyle Kuzma. It was part of what helped the Lakers gain a lead in the third quarter despite being down by 20.
James and the Lakers started off very poorly in the first quarter, but they have managed to regain the lead in the second half against one of the worst teams in the league.
While the playoffs are a long-shot and tanking is in the team’s best interest, getting a win and snapping their five-game losing streak should help with the Lakers morale issues.
