LeBron James rallies Lakers to overtime win over Pacers after suspension
LA TimesOne of the Lakers’ stars returned just as another one of the stars was out, still leaving them incomplete with LeBron James back from his one-game suspension but playing without Anthony Davis, who was out with a fever. “Obviously I love the game of basketball and having the game taken away from you, it’s frustration and eager to get back on the floor and happy to be back in the lineup with my guys tonight and just tried to make some plays,” James said. James said Stewart’s elbow lifted his arm and he tried to “swim down” on Stewart’s arm. But definitely an accidental… Definitely I’m not that type of player, so I hate to see what escalated after that… I thought it warranted an ejection because of what happened after that… But a suspension, I didn’t think that was it warranted, but the league made that call.” During the game against the Pacers, James and Russell Westbrook were going back up court when they looked over at two fans and eventually had them ejected from the game with two minutes 29 seconds left in the overtime. “It’s a difference between cheering on your home faithful, booing opponents, things of that nature, or not wanting your opponent to be successful,” James said.
