Los Angeles Lakers: 4 Lessons from 112-104 win over Pelicans

LeBron James made all of his teammates better

Ivica Zubac played very well and got off to a great start because of LeBron James put him in the position to have the game he had. In the first quarter, LeBron James had a season high seven assists. The Lakers at one point went hit seven straight shots off of his assists alone.

LeBron James collected his third triple double of the season, scoring 22 points, snatching 12 rebounds and dishing out 14 assists. The three triple-doubles set a record (Like again…Doesn’t this dude have enough?) for the amount of triple doubles at this stage of his career.

This just in…LeBron James is good.

He didn’t only set up Zubac.

He set up Lonzo…

I mean look at the touch of this pass to Lonzo Ball in stride for the slam dunk. Again, the important part of the play is LeBron’s willingness to give the ball up quickly. Something that is what Magic Johnson and Luke Walton’s offensive scheme is all about.

Here he got Kyle Kuzma involved…

Right here, the Lakers are running their semi fast break. LeBron gets the pass on the wing and quickly hits Kyle Kuzma with a quick bounce pass to catch Anthony Davis with a facial at the rim.

Finally we know he can all do this…
