LeBron James may have missed 17 games, but his near triple-double performance against the Los Angeles Clippers led the Lakers to a 123-120 overtime win.
As James was naturally rusty after missing five weeks, he re-established himself in the second half and finished with 24 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists in 40 minutes. While it was not ideal for the 34-year-old to play that many minutes coming off a groin strain injury, he had plenty of help.
In the 17 games without James, Brandon Ingram found a rhythm offensively and it continued against the Clippers.
