LeBron James made his return to Cleveland on Wednesday for the first time since leaving the Cavaliers to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers in free agency. While the home crowd didn’t get to see their Cavs win, they got to see a hallmark dominant performance by the kid from Akron.
Even after a tear-jerking tribute video from the Cavs, James was able to lock in and lead the lethargic Lakers to a 109-105 win over Cleveland to put them at 10-7 for the season.
In 35 minutes, James ended the night with an impressive stat line of 32 points, 14 rebounds and 7 assists.
