LOS ANGELES — LeBron James’ burst is bonkers.Those 38-year-old legs can still mount a kick capable of catching a sprinting Andrew Wiggins, 10 years his junior, from behind. Of rising up, still a hulking presence in Year 20, and breaking up a touchdown pass attempt, his momentum carrying him on, and on. Up and over the heads of fans seated in the front row and then another 10 rows beyond that.
James finished with 21 points – all coming in the second and third quarters, when the Lakers outscored the Warriors 63-38 and flipped a seven-point deficit into a gaping 86-68 lead. It will make him, James said, the first member of the family in recent memory to attend a university: “It’s very, very, very exciting and very humbling and a great moment for my family.”
“Bron’s a guy who can dominate the game from so many different aspects,” said the Lakers’ recently reacquired guard, who scored all 21 of his points before halftime. “Obviously, the regular fan will recognize scoring, dunking, things that are loud like that. But he still affects the game with passing and with defense with communication, all those little things. He still led us.”
