LeBron James’ 40 points lead Lakers to win over Thunder

LA Times  

Lakers forward LeBron James dunks for two of his game-high 40 points in a win over the Thunder on Saturday night in Oklahoma City. Since the Lakers won the NBA’s in-season tournament two weeks ago, the team has floated, their pockets, like their legs, heavier from their $500,000 journey into playoff-style basketball in the first quarter of the season. And LeBron James retook his throne as the best player on the court, leading the Lakers to their best win of the season, 129-120 against the Western Conference’s second-best team. Said James: “To know I can go out and still make game-winning plays and affect the game in multiple ways, and I can still close out a game in the fourth quarter when my team needed it, when they started making a run, it’s always a good feeling, for sure.” The Lakers’ dished out a season-best 38 assists, James taking over as the point guard in the lineup switch. Obviously we’ve been struggling in a lot of first quarters this season so we feel like being a little bit bigger on the perimeter, more athletic gives us a chance to really have this go in our favor this time.” The switch would rob the Lakers of things they were already light on — shooting and playmaking — while swapping that out for more size and versatility on defense.
