If NBA fans have learned anything since 2003, it’s to never bet against LeBron. However, social media focused on the 6-0 record the Clippers held against the Lakers under Ty Lue, which seemed to invite a performance from The King that we wouldn’t soon forget. Despite 26 points from LeBron, that did not happen, and the Clippers made a statement in their 132-111 win that saw six players score in double digits.
Both teams started strong on the offensive end and each scored over 30 on above-50 percent shooting, but it was the Clippers who had the slight edge going into the second.
