Fans Are Excited After LeBron James Clutch Performance Leads Lakers To Win Over Rockets

November 21, 2023 • 0 Comment

The Lakers beat the Rockets 104-105 catapulted by a LeBron James masterclass.

The Los Angeles Lakers overcame a tough test against the surging Houston Rockets with a 104-105 win at home where LeBron James dominated, dropping 37 points and leading the Lakers to a clutch win.

LeBron James had another fantastic outing against Dillon Brooks, prompting many jokes about their rivalry.

Anthony Davis had a great performance until his late fourth-quarter ejection, with he and James carrying the roster to this win.

James’ incredible clutch performance has fans questioning everything we knew about longevity in the NBA.

Fans cannot understand how LeBron is still this effective in Year 21.

Fans are genuinely questioning if there’s an end-point to LeBron’s longevity.

Fans joked about the insane load LeBron has had to take to lead the Lakers to this win.

LeBron James added six rebounds, eight assists, and three steals to supplement his incredible 37-point outing. Anthony Davis put up 27 points and 10 rebounds for a dominant double-double, as the pair combined to shoot 25-34 on their shots tonight. The rest of the Lakers combined to short 14-49, though Austin Reaves came alive late with a clutch three and 17 points on the night.

The Rockets were led by a fantastic shooting performance by Dillon Brooks, who cashed in six of his 11 attempted threes for 24 points on the night, along with four steals. Alperen Sengun stood up to Davis and had 23 points and 10 rebounds with five assists on the night. Fred VanVleet also did his best, scoring 15 points with 16 assists.

The Lakers Still Overly Reliant On Their Two Stars

The job of a star on a basketball team is to lead the team to wins when nobody is stepping up. That’s what Anthony Davis and LeBron James did today. However, we know that the Lakers’ stars are going to have periods of the season where they’re struggling with injury and will need the others to step up. If the other can step up now, the load on both the stars is reduced.

Davis is already dealing with a hip injury which has heavily limited his production in recent games. LeBron has stepped up in this time, averaging 33.3 points and 9.7 assists over the last three games. But he’s also averaged 36.5 minutes for this stretch, a completely unsustainable model given his age and recent injury history. Davis is already playing through injuries and James is at risk of getting injured the more he plays.

A third star might not be the solution everyone is hoping it’ll be, as it’ll take away the depth that keeps the Lakers relevant in many of these games. But when D’Angelo Russell has a 1-8 shooting night like he did tonight, the argument to move him for Zach LaVine becomes stronger. Nonetheless, averages level out over a season and most of the Lakers rotation will be hoping to bump their numbers up before February comes and they’re sent to some other team.

Russia makes biggest advance in Ukraine since early days of the war, seizing an area half the size of London as Putin’s forces launch artillery and bomb blitz

Russian forces are advancing westward in Ukraine at a rate faster than any other time after the initial days of the 2022 invasion, taking an area half the size of London over the past month as the return of Donald Trump to the White House looms large. Vladimir Putin’s troops swept through swathes of Ukraine in early 2022 and were bearing down on Kyiv in a matter of days, but they were held on the outskirts of the capital before being pushed back and retreating further east. Since then, the 1,000 km (620-mile) front line remained largely static save for some minor offensives one way or the other – that is until Ukraine launched a lightning incursion into Russia’s Kursk region this summer.

The two-year term in a young offenders’ institution handed to a teen driver who left a single mother quadriplegic when he drove into her while filming at the wheel ‘in no way reflects the severity of his crime’, critics said today. George Taylor made two calls, sent text messages and recorded five videos showing him driving a Volkswagen Golf at speed and overtaking other vehicles while using his knees on his steering wheel when he crashed into Catherine Davies, 51. Ms Davies, who worked as a fitness instructor, is now quadriplegic and requires lifelong care in a specially adapted property fitted with life-support equipment. Her disability means she may never again be able to hug her son, 10.
