– LeBron looks great
In the win over the Jazz, there was no denying who the best player on the floor was. After a so-so game against the Clippers, LeBron James came out hungry to get a win. He was clearly locked in and his hustle was noticed early on.
As the main facilitator for the Lakers, there is a heavy load for him to carry this season. In the win over the Jazz, James looked great in all aspects of the game. James totaled 32 points, 10 assists, and seven rebounds in the win.
As a scorer, James was very efficient for the Lakers, especially in the second half. James finished shooting 12-for-22 from the floor and 7-for-8 from the free-throw line. James also did a great job setting up his teammates, as the 10 assists would indicate.
With the Lakers going a bit smaller with Davis at center, the offense was more crisp for the Lakers in the second half. The pick-and-roll between James and Davis looked unstoppable at times, and we saw a few highlight lobs.
James nearly getting a triple-double against one of the best defensive teams in the league shows that he is still one of the best in the NBA.
