LeBron James’ list of memorable moments throughout his NBA career has become exhaustive. And on Wednesday night, he added yet another to the highlight reel.

James had 35 points, 12 rebounds and seven assistss and was the catalyst for a Lakers comeback as they overcame a 19-point deficit to beat the Clippers 130-125 in overtime in the all-Los Angeles affair.

The exclamation point of the impressive performance came in overtime when James emphatically converted an alley-oop from Austin Reeves to effectively seal the victory. “And obviously, Magic , Kareem and those guys created ‘Showtime’ and things of that nature, so you just want to try and keep that going. These fans love the fast break here to finish it with an alley-oop at that point in time and have us go up by five, have them call a time out, crowd keeps going … big time momentum play for us and happy to be on the side where they are.”

In an encounter in which the Clippers had led for the majority of play, James took over late in the day.
