LeBron James’s Triple-Double Leads Lakers to Another Win Against Magic
by privatebet.com - 2021/12/13
LeBron James faced many ups and downs since the beginning of the season, but he got a chance to shine on Sunday night. The King led the Los Angeles Lakers to another dominant win against the Orlando Magic with his epic triple-double. James proved he’s still a force to be reckoned with by scoring 30 points for the Lakers as they faced Magic. He also secured his 101st career triple-double in the final minutes of the game, as the Lakers defeated Magic 106-94. Russell Westbrook was, once again, one of the top scorers for his team, with a total of 19 points. He praised LeBron’s performance after the game, saying that the team simply isn’t the same without him. “When he’s aggressive and making the right plays and reads, our team is different. This was another game where he imposed his will… I know it’s big for him to show he’s still doing what he’s been doing year after year. It’s great to see," said Westbrook. The Lakers managed to win their two latest games despite the absence of their second-leading scorer Anthony Davis, who is taking a break due to left knee soreness. It’s unclear if he’ll be able to return on Thursday and help the Lakers defeat the Dallas Mavericks.
