Lakers’ legend Magic Johnson talks up LeBron James as he goes home to Cleveland and puts on a show for his home crowd 

The Los Angeles Lakers continue their road trip, as they made their way to Cleveland tonight. Tonight’s win was important, as the Lakers are back on the 9th spot, after having lost it to the Pelicans last night. The Lakers, having lost two out of three games this trip, wanted to finish on a high note. LeBron James helped them do just the same.

The King, who was playing in front of the Cavs crowd for the first time since his Bubble Championship(All-Star Game not included in this context), made sure to put on a show for them. He dropped a game-high 38 points triple-double, adding 11 rebounds and 12 assists as well.
