James continued to put pressure on the Nets’ defense, scoring five points over the next three minutes before hitting his third and fourth 3s of the game, including a fadeaway from the corner, to give the Lakers a 111-93 lead with 6:21 left.James went 9-for-10 on 3s against the Nets, matching a career-high that he set when he made nine 3s against the Clippers last season on Jan. 24, 2023.
