Father time was seen on the floor once again when it tried to challenge Lebron James who took over for the Los Angeles Lakers to beat the Philadelphia 76ers on the road.
King James finished with 29 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists. Twelve of those points came in the fourth quarter (10 straight) when the game was still close and anybody can still win the game.
“I kind of hit a couple before. I figured that they would try to press up on me. So I felt like if I could make an aggressive move towards the basket, they would try to cut me off,” he told the courtside reporter after the game.
“I was able to get up off of him step back and create some space.”
New father Luka Doncic, who posted a 31-15-11 triple double, was also left amazed by James’ game.
“That was amazing, that was vintage Bron,” he told reporters during the presscon.
“We are happy he was there to save us. He had an amazing game.”
