"LeBron James finished with 28 points, 12 assists and six rebounds, helping the Lakers secure at least the No. 4 seed in the uber-tough Western Conference."
"Over his last three games in this new role, James has averaged 24.6 points, 12.6 assists and 7.6 rebounds, shooting 60% from the field and 46% from three-point range."
"James quickly went by a defender on a back-door cut, took a pass from Luke Kennard and threw down a two-handed, rim-rattling dunk."
"Coach JJ Redick believes teams want to face the Lakers because of their injuries, but they still have James, who has been masterful."
LeBron James has stepped up as the Lakers' primary player due to injuries to Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves. In a recent game, he scored 28 points, 12 assists, and six rebounds, leading the Lakers to a 101-73 victory over the Phoenix Suns. This win secures at least the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference. The Lakers still have a chance for the third seed depending on their performance against the Utah Jazz and the Denver Nuggets' outcome. James has excelled in his new role, averaging 24.6 points, 12.6 assists, and 7.6 rebounds over the last three games.
