""At 40 years old, I mean, it just takes a while for my body to kind of get back into a rhythm," James said. "And so it felt good tonight to kind of feel like myself a little bit.""
""I do think it's important to be reminded every now and then of what you're capable of," Lakers coach JJ Redick said."
"Sixers coach Nick Nurse added: "He's done that a time or two in his life, right?""
""I felt like the opportunity kind of presented itself," he said. "I felt like my two heavy hitters kind of didn't have it or needed a little kick, and I tried to punch in from there.""
LeBron James scored a season-high 29 points on 12-for-17 shooting, adding seven rebounds, six assists and a late steal in the Lakers' 112-108 victory over the 76ers. The outing followed his first single-digit game in 17 years and a difficult 13-of-17 shooting night in Toronto that ended a 1,297-game double-digit scoring streak. James has played only seven games this season after missing training camp, preseason and the first 14 regular-season games due to sciatica. He assumed late-game responsibility when Austin Reaves shot 3-for-16, while Luka Doncic returned from Slovenia and connected well with James. The game featured Philadelphia wearing Allen Iverson throwback uniforms and a mixed crown-and-silencer celebration.
