The Los Angeles Lakers are currently in a very dangerous situation and we might see a LeBron-less playoffs for the first time after a very long time. After falling to the lowly Grizzlies in Memphis, everyone expected LeBron to go off against the Pelicans and he did just that.

James finished the night with 33 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists on a good 57.1 % shooting. This includes his dagger three-pointer that sealed the deal for the Lakers with just over 30 seconds to go in the contest.

It was a tough one-legged corner three-pointer and the Staples' Center crowd went berserk right after he netted that three-pointer. It extended the Lakers' lead to six points and effectively won the game. Expect more of these from LeBron in quest for the playoffs, as we move closer to the end of the regular season.
