[Saba Sports News] On Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers, LeBron James delivered a spectacular dunk over Paul George, much to the excitement of the Lakers’ bench. At 39, the star player stunned the audience at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles with his powerful dunk early in the third quarter.
James covered the entire court, shrugging off defensive efforts from Clippers guard Terance Mann. Despite the challenge, the 4-time MVP made his mark with an unforgettable play. George, who had previously been on the receiving end of a LeBron highlight, faced added disappointment as he was called for a foul during the dunk. James capitalized on this by scoring the extra free throw, equalizing the score at 55.
The Lakers eventually triumphed with a 106-103 victory, breaking their 4-game losing streak. James was a key player, leading in scoring with 25 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists, shooting 11/19.
Recently, the Lakers’ locker room has been troubled by reported tensions between head coach Darvin Ham and some players. James, visibly upset after a loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday, even confronted a reporter. However, this significant victory over their city rivals, highlighted by James’ remarkable dunk, might be just the boost the Lakers needed.
