Friday night was one of the biggest games of the season for the Los Angeles Lakers and in terms of record, it was their toughest against the league-leading Milwaukee Bucks. So of course they played one of their best halves of basketball this season, especially so when considering they’re without point guard Lonzo Ball.
LeBron James, once again playing most of his minutes at center and anchoring the Lakers, had an amazing highlight dunk on the same day he had his A/R debut and had another episode of ‘The Shop’ come to HBO. James threw down this epic reverse putback slam dunk to help the Lakers hold a 65-59 lead at halftime.
James had 10 points, seven assists and five rebounds in the first half as he handled creation for the Lakers as well as a lot of screening responsibilities for everybody else. Meanwhile, Giannis Antetokounmpo is two points and six assists away from a triple double himself.
