James made two of his nine shot attempts, missing all four of his 3-point looks. He went 1-for-1 at the free throw line. The Lakers were outscored by one point with James on the floor. “It felt pretty good to go out there and just play my game,” James said. “Not much difference. I was just playing basketball. It felt good.” -via New York Times / November 10, 2024
