With Austin Reaves, D’Angelo Russell and Cam Reddish all out for the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against the Utah Jazz, LeBron James took it upon himself to go back to his roots as a playmaker.
James got the opportunity to dominate on-ball duties and he reminded the Lakers and the rest of the league that he remains one of the game’s greatest passers and tacticians.
James helped lead Los Angeles to a close 105-104 victory over Utah, a solid start to the team’s road trip.
The Lakers were able to hold on thanks to Anthony Davis and James who controlled the offense in crunch time.
