LeBron James took no notice of rivals, called responsibility and helped the Lakers secure victory against the Grizzlies in the NBA playoffs
LeBron James didn’t give chances to Grizzlies and left the lakers in a comfortable situation in the playoffs of the NBA. The star entered the court on the last night of Monday, the 24th, attacked his rivals and scored a 20/20. The player’s offensive and defensive performance caught everyone’s attention and even the athlete himself.
Called “old” by Dillon Brooks in previous matches, LeBron James showed that it is not so. He may even be a veteran, but he managed to score 22 points and grab 20 rebounds, in addition to giving seven assists in the Lakers’ victory against the Grizzlies by 117 to 111. With that, after the match, the star celebrated the positive result a lot.
“I just try to be the best I can offensively, but more importantly defensively. That was the mindset tonight. I managed to make a few plays. … My teammates told me I didn’t have a 20/20. It’s the first time I’ve done this in my career, so it’s really cool I think.“, he stated.
It is worth noting that LeBron James was decisive in the final stretch of the match between the Grizzlies and the Lakers. He scored the most important point of the game and took the confrontation into the additional minutes. He hit a layup late in the last quarter and helped Los Angeles go 13-7 in overtime.
I’ve been part of moments where you know you can get a decisive play or a kill shot. I felt like that game, it wasn’t going to close the door, but there wasn’t much light at the end. I just let the emotion out”, he completed.
With the Lakers leading the aggregate (3-1), the Los Angeles team returns to the court next Wednesday, the 26th, at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), to take an important step towards qualifying for the NBA playoffs. The team will have the chance to open three victories of difference against the Grizzlies and follow with morale towards a place in the final of the main league of the world.
