Back from injury since the day before, LeBron James has regained feelings once morest the Spurs. With 39 points and a big address from the parking lot (7/12), the King showed the way for the Lakers to clinch a second straight win at Fort Alamo.
For detailed stats of LBJ and his friends, it’s here.
Has LeBron James’ season finally started? Hampered by injuries (already six games missed out of eighteen), the King has not shown its best face in this first month of competition. Shooting in almost 25/8/7 is an honor for 99% of the players in the League, but for the native of Akron, it’s a nice regression compared to last year, and in particular compared to his marksmanship. , in freefall over these first weeks of play (46% including 24% since Castorama). On the sidelines for a fortnight due to injury, LBJ had alternated the good and the much less good yesterday for his return to competition once morest these same Spurs. Eager to quickly resume his rhythm, the LA star had announced that she intended to play this remake back-to-back. This was good because Anthony Davis was just taking a day off because of calf pain. What forced James to take back the great costume of number 1.
And the King was quick to take the lead. In a resolutely attacking game, with defenses worthy of the All-Star Game, the winger was able to work on his ranges and warm up. Adroit, aggressive, the number 6 of the Angelinos signs his best stat sheet of the season with 39 points, 11 rebounds but also 3 assists, at 11/21 shooting but above all a very clean 7/12 at long distance. Enough to ensure victory once morest Spurs who quickly lost Jakob Poeltl to injury before Zach Collins was sent off for (unintentionally?) elbowing Russell Westbrook in the head. Tre Jones led the charge well for the Spurs but the Lakers lead in money time was too big to expect much.

So here we are on this Sunday, November 27 with a Lakers team that has just won 5 of its last 6 games. Positive for confidence, even if beating the Spurs three times and the Pistons once (without Cade Cunningham) is not necessarily a great achievement. That’s good, there is quality on the program for the next fortnight. After hosting the Pacers and Blazers, the Angelinos will set off on a 5-game road trip that will see them face off once morest the Bucks, Raptors, Sixers and Cavs, among others. We will then see what wood these Lakers are really made of.
LeBron James showed his best face tonight once morest Spurs. A beautiful perf of the King which calls others. LBJ’s 2022-23 season finally on track?
