James had a fantastic outing against the Clippers and finished the game with 28 points, nine assists, seven rebounds and two blocks.
His superstar teammate Anthony Davis also had a strong game. Davis finished with a team-high 30 points to go along with eight boards, two assists, two steals and a block.
Still, it was James who was crowned by his teammate near the end of the game.
All season long, the four-time MVP has been an exemplary leader. He has helped keep the Lakers focused on their ultimate task through thick and thin.
In Sunday’s win, the Lakers capped off an impressive three-game sweep of three NBA Finals hopefuls.
This past Tuesday, the Lakers dominated the Philadelphia 76ers, 120-107. James then led the Lakers to a convincing 113-103 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night.
Sunday’s win, which was their first victory over the Clippers this season, will likely only improve the confidence within the Lakers’ locker room going forward.
With several more playoff hopefuls on the near horizon for the Lakers, they can continue to prove that they are prepared for a deep playoff run this season.
