LeBron James saves the day for the LA Lakers against the Portland Trail Blazers

The LA Lakers escaped an upset against the Trail Blazers thanks to LeBron James. From dishing the ball to Christian Wood and knocking down a three-pointer, the four-time NBA champion just took the game out of reach of their opponents.

“I just try to read and react,” James said to reporters after the victory. “It’s never predetermined with me. I seen some guys that were leaving some of our shooters open. Just trying to be very efficient with our offense. We turned the ball over a little bit too much in the first half and early in the third and we wanted to clean it up in the fourth.”

In 13 games so far this season, LeBron has only missed one. The 19-time NBA All-Star is averaging 25.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.6 steals per game.

After this matchup with the Houston Rockets, the Lakers will host the Utah Jazz and then the Dallas Mavericks at the Crypto.com Arena in back-to-back games on November 21 and 22.
