LeBron James scored a game-high total of 30 points but Skip Bayless still managed to troll him for his performance.
The Los Angeles Lakers, led by LeBron James, beat the Denver Nuggets 126-108 and moved to 11-16 on the year. As a result of the Lakers’ outstanding collective team effort, they were able to pull away in the second half and secure the victory.
LeBron James scored 30 points, while Russell Westbrook had a triple-double and a 15-point performance. Thomas Bryant contributed 21 points in AD’s absence. Despite scoring a game-high total of 30 points against the Nuggets, Skip Bayless was unimpressed with LeBron.
Skip Bayless said, “Love LeBron front-running, stat-padding, after Westbrook did the heavy lifting.” He also said earlier, “Game over. Lakers finally win – even after AD gets hurt, again. Westbrook closed it! Thomas Bryant did a pretty good AD!”, and it is evident that Skip Bayless didn’t think LeBron James deserved any credit of Lakers’ win against the Nuggets.
It was the third straight game for LeBron in which he has scored 30 points or more, and his fans won’t be bothered by what Skip Bayless is saying. Without Anthony Davis in the second half, this was a major victory for the Lakers. They play the Washington Wizards next.
The Los Angeles Lakers had been playing well for a few games, and after their last game’s meltdown against the Boston Celtics, they were due for a victory. AD’s injury may be serious, but the Lakers can’t know how important he will be until he returns to the court.
