Los Angeles Lakers spoil Dwyane Wade swan song in Staples Center

Monday night was a special one for the Los Angeles Lakers, namely LeBron James. Often times out of conference games in December don’t garner much attention. Tonight, that was not the case when the Miami Heat visited the Staples Center.

Tonight’s game had a different feel because it was the final time that Dwyane Wade would grace the Staples Center with his presence.

Wade announced that he would be retiring following this season, and tonight’s game marked the final time he would not only be visiting the Staples Center, as the Heat played the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday but the final matchup between Wade and his good friend, LeBron James.
