The Los Angeles Lakers needed every bit of LeBron James’s vintage performance on Wednesday night, as the 39-year-old ignited a 21-point fourth-quarter comeback.
James scored 19 of his 34 points in the final frame, ultimately outscoring the Los Angeles Clippers (16 points) in the fourth quarter by himself as the Lakers went on to win, 116–112.
The furious comeback is the biggest fourth-quarter deficit James has overcome in his illustrious NBA career. And of the many reactions and comments from teammates and observers, the best may have come from Lakers head coach Darvin Ham.
