LeBron James was fashionably late to the scoring party. When he showed, he dominated the 4th quarter.
Well, this was a strange game for LeBron James. Whether he is still trying to figure out how to get the offense to flow through Anthony Davis or he couldn’t find the basket after three-quarters, he exploded in the last 10 minutes.
After only scoring six points after three quarters, LeBron James finished the Hornets by scoring 14 points and dished out 2 assists. For the game, James dropped 20 points, dished out 12 assists and collected 6 rebounds.
After making sure AD got going in his monstrous first half.

He used the momentum produced by Dwight Howard and Alex Caruso to finish off the Hornets. LeBron James has been heavily criticized for not being able to close out games. Against the Hornets, that was hardly the case because he was unstoppable.

Lake Show Life would be amiss if there wasn’t a shout out to Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. After being consoled by LeBron James after the Utah game where he was booed after scoring one point.
He had a bounce-back game scoring 10 points on 50% shooting (4-8 from the field 2-4 from the 3 point line!). KCP has been through a lot this season. Hopefully, this game will get his confidence back.
The Los Angeles Lakers play the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday.
