LeBron James was 34 feet away from the basket, 0.2 seconds left on the clock, it didn’t matter. This was Las Vegas, and this was the King’s show. The shot was good, the crowd went wild, and James soaked it in.
The Los Angeles Lakers led the Golden State Warriors 61-57 at halftime. James’ work was done after 18 minutes. He finished with 15 points (5-for-8 shooting), 10 rebounds and five assists. The Lakers went on to defeat the Warriors, 123-113.
It’s been 124 days since LeBron James faced the two-time defending champions. But that was the NBA Finals, and this is the preseason.
