LeBron James posts 23/9/9/3/2 line vs. Pelicans
LeBron James shot 6-of-20 from the field and 10-of-10 from the foul line in Tuesday’s 110-106 win over the Pelicans, scoring 23 points with nine rebounds, nine assists, three steals, two blocks, and one 3-pointer in 41 minutes.
Advice: Two days after blowing out the Pelicans in both teams’ regular-season finale, James and the Lakers had more game pressure to deal with on Tuesday. The 39-year-old finished one rebound and one assist shy of a triple-double, and the full stat line lessened the sting of the low field-goal percentage. With the victory, the Lakers earned the No. 7 seed in the West and a first-round matchup with No. 2-seed Denver. Game 1 is scheduled for Saturday.
