[Saba Sports News] LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers showcased his trash-talking skills on Sunday against Dillon Brooks and the Houston Rockets. In the game’s 3rd quarter at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, James, during an isolation play against Brooks, powered into the paint and scored, pushing the Lakers’ lead to 81-75.
He then taunted Brooks with a “too small” gesture, which Anthony Davis also mimicked. This move reflected the ongoing tension between Brooks and James, dating back to their first season encounter on November 8.
Although the Rockets won their first matchup 128-94, this second meeting saw James leading with 37 points, including a decisive free throw, to clinch a narrow 105-104 victory for the Lakers. Brooks, despite scoring 24 points, faced another challenging moment in Los Angeles, previously against Russell Westbrook.
