LeBron James scores 56 points, his most as a Laker, as L.A. defeats Golden State
. It wasn’t the Finals — the Lakers are forever away from that still — but it was an all-time performance on a night when the Lakers needed one so badly.
He slipped through the Golden State defense and threw home a reverse one-handed slam. He drilled three-point jumpers and bullied for post-up scores in the paint. He got hot. He stayed hot.Curry scored 30 — he and James having battled in four straight NBA Finals at one point during their careers. This time, it was James leading the late-game heroics, slamming home a lob, dishing out a big-time assist and sinking game-icing free throws to save the Lakers from a flurry of late-game turnovers.
LeBron James’ 56 points was only part of a strong Lakers performance against the Warriors that raises the question: Why can’t they always play like that? It’s the 13th time in his career he scored 50 points, seventh all time and second among active players. It’s tied for the third most he’s ever scored. It’s been nearly 17 years — 16 years and 350 days to be exact — since James’ first 50-point game.James and Wilt Chamberlain are the only players to score 50 points for multiple franchises. Each have done it for three.
