Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James delivered a blast from the past type of performance, leading an injury-hit Lakers side to a dominant win over the Phoenix Suns.
LeBron finished with 28 points, six rebounds, and 12 assists in just 32 minutes as the Lakers cruised to a 101–73 victory. The result lifts Los Angeles to fourth in the Western Conference, now just one win away from securing the fourth seed.
The Lakers improve to 52–29 on the season and will wrap up their regular campaign on Monday against the Utah Jazz.
With key starters Austin Reaves and Luka Dončić sidelined, LeBron once again stepped up with a commanding display, embracing the responsibility as he guided his team over the line.
“I had to tap back into a role that I’ve been accustomed to in the past, but obviously, it wasn’t what it was this year.”
“Circumstances have put me back in there, and I’m just trying to feed off my teammates, teammates are feeding off of me and just trying to make things happen for us to continue to stay afloat” LeBron James said.
