In the first half, the Los Angeles Lakers looked stagnant and somewhat lackadaisical, as they finished the first half down 59-52 to the Washington Wizards.
But they responded well in the third period, and the man who led the charge was LeBron James.
He got hot and stayed hot, turning in one of his best performances of the season and possibly of his four years with the team.
The Lakers not only won, but they won rather easily, pulling away in the final minutes for a 122-109 victory.
Although James gets most of the praise for this win (as he rightfully should), several of his teammates also played well and contributed in a significant way.
