LA Lakers knocks out Orlando Magic

There is a reason why LeBron James is considered one of the best players in the NBA. The 36-year-old showed the same energy on the court that delivered Los Angeles Laker the NBA Championship title in 2020. His shadow hovered over a driving R.J. Hampton, picking his lay-up attempt clean off his fingers. Later he denied Cole Anthony a clean shot as well, in the two-way show where James scored 30 points, 10 assists, 11 rebounds.

Lakers improved to 15-13 in the season while throwing Magic in the bottomless pit with 5-23 with a dominating 36-10 second to last quarter performance to post a 106-94 win at the Staples Center in the end. James recorded his 101st career triple-double as well as showcasing his defensive side to Magic.
