The Los Angeles Lakers haven’t started the 2021-2022 campaign the way they would’ve envisioned it. With a 2-3 record, the Lakers have entered their clash with the Cavaliers coming off one of their worst losses in franchise history, blowing away a 26-point lead against the Thunder. After a 2-game road trip, LeBron James and co. have come back to Staples Center for a 4 game stint and will hope to grab some wins.
King James was sidelined for the games against the Spurs and at OKC, with right ankle soreness. However, after suffering the embarrassing loss, Bron has decided to lace up and take the court on Friday night.
Midway into the 2nd quarter, James handed one of the nastiest blocks. After making a lazy turnover, the 4-time Champ hustled back on the fastbreak and denied Collin Sexton from finishing the ball at the rim.
Here, have a look at the play.
