The Lakers will only go as far as ageless wonder LeBron James takes them. They'll survive in the playoffs as long as their relentless superstar does.
LeBron James and Anthony Davis combine to score nine early points in overtime to lead the Lakers to a Game 4 win over Memphis on Monday night.
Who knows where the fans found their breath? Who knows where the Grizzlies lost their will? Both things happened on a night when arguably history’s greatest basketball player took long strides toward becoming one of history’s greatest Lakers.You probably already know his numbers — 22 points and a career-high 20 rebounds and only one turnover in 45 minutes, a complete domination that was amazing even to him.
“All of the phenomenal things he’s accomplished, he still has that passion, that grit to want to be on top and to want to put his team in a position in the right way to be able to be successful,” said coach Darvin Ham. “And that’s what you saw.” “That’s always been me,” James said. “Whatever it takes for the team to be successful and just trying to be as great as I can be offensively. But even more important on the defensive end. That was kind of the mindset tonight.”
