LeBron James had a dominant performance this Saturday, with a triple double of 36 points, 20 rebounds and 12 assists, and gave the Los Angeles Lakers an epic 145-144 victory at the Golden State Warriors’ field after two overtimes.
LeBron, 39, played 47.40 minutes at the Chase Center, got and scored two free kicks with one second left to decide the game, in his 50th matchup with Steph Curry.
The duel between two NBA legends, both four-time champions, ended with LeBron winning, although Steph Curry stood out for the Warriors with 46 points and nine three-pointers.
LeBron finished 14 of 25 on field goals, two of four on three-pointers and a perfect six of six from the free throw line.
Steph scored 17 of her 35 field goals, with 9 of 21 on three-pointers, to which she added three rebounds and seven assists.
The Warriors had a fifteen-point lead at 88-73 in the third period, but were on the verge of losing the game in the fourth, due to the Lakers’ comeback. It was Curry, with a saving layup, to force overtime.
The game did not look good for the Lakers when Klay Thompson hit a great triple to tie it at 130 and force a second overtime.
In fact, the Warriors tasted victory when Curry, with six seconds on the clock, scored another magnificent triple to give his team a 144-143 lead.
But the last word was for LeBron. He received the ball and attacked the basket, forcing a foul by Draymond Green. He didn’t tremble from the foul line. He connected both and forced Curry to attempt a three-pointer from his half of the field, with the ball that did not reach the rim.
LeBron ended up receiving congratulations and hugs from all his teammates. Anthony Davis scored 29 points and grabbed thirteen rebounds and D’Angelo Russell contributed 28 points.
For the Warriors, Klay Thompson scored 24 points, while Jonathan Kuminga and Andrew Wiggins scored 22 each.
Prelude to Warriors vs. Lakers
The Golden State Warriors (GSW) and the Los Angeles Lakers will face each other this Saturday, January 27 at the Chase Center stadium in the city of San Francisco, California, for Matchday 90 of the Regular Phase of the 2024 NBA Western Conference.
The Warriors, who had beaten the Atlanta Hawks, were up one point with 48 seconds left after a dunk by Kuminga (31 points), but Sabonis responded, with another dunk, to give the Kings a 134-133 lead. Stephen Curry had the last possession, but he got tangled up in front of the Kings’ two-for-one and lost control of the ball without being able to take the shot that could change the history of the game.
Meanwhile, the Lakers left behind the defeat suffered in the derby against the Clippers and beat the Bulls driven by 29 points from D’Angelo Russell. LeBron James, who will start in the next All Star Game for the twentieth consecutive year, returned after missing the Los Angeles derby and, despite having discomfort in an ankle, contributed 25 points and twelve assists.
