LeBron dropped 26/8/11 as the Lakers destroyed the Warriors 119-103 without Luka or Reaves.
LeBron James reminded everyone he's still that guy, putting up 26 points, 8 rebounds, and 11 assists as the Lakers demolished the Golden State Warriors 119-103 on Prime Thursday night. All five LA starters scored in double figures — a welcome sign for a team missing both Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves.
The win snapped a 3-game losing skid for the Lakers and pulled them even with the Houston Rockets for 4th place in the Western Conference. Stephen Curry sat out for the Warriors on the second night of a back-to-back as he manages his return from injury.
With just two games remaining in the regular season, every result matters for playoff seeding. The Lakers proved they can still dominate when LeBron is in playoff mode, but the question remains: can a 41-year-old carry this team through the postseason gauntlet without his two best perimeter players?
