AUBURN HILLS, Mich.: When LeBron James stepped onto the court at the Palace of Auburn Hills Thursday morning and starting firing up shots at set spots beyond the arc, he said, “This is my second home.”
If Thursday night turns out to be his farewell to the Palace, where 10 years ago he turned in perhaps his greatest performance, James put on another show.
It wasn’t a phenomenal scoring display like the one seen on May 31, 2007. Instead, at age 32, James awed the crowd with a thunderous display of power, one of his rim-rattling dunks drawing a technical foul.
