LeBron James' 10 straight points in fourth pace Lakers' win - ESPN
PHILADELPHIA — A game after he failed to reach 10 points for the first time in 17 years, LeBron James turned back the clock to score 10 straight points in the fourth quarter alone to lift the Los Angeles Lakers to a 112-108 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday.
«At 40 years old, I mean, it just takes a while for my body to kind of get back into a rhythm,» James said. «And so it felt good tonight to kind of feel like myself a little bit.»
In Toronto on Thursday, he looked every bit of those 40 years, missing 13 of the 17 shots he took as his record streak of 1,297 games in double-digit scoring was snapped — albeit in poetic fashion with James finding Rui Hachimura with a game-winning assist at the buzzer.
Against Philadelphia, he looked like his old self, scoring a season-high 29 points while shooting 12-for-17 from the floor, with seven rebounds, six assists and a steal to thwart the Sixers' final offensive possession for the finishing touch.
«I do think it's important to be reminded every now and then of what you're capable of,» Lakers coach JJ Redick said.
Said Sixers coach Nick Nurse: «He's done that a time or two in his life, right?»
The game provided plenty of reminders of just how long James has been at the top of the sport.
The 76ers were playing in their black throwback uniforms made popular by franchise legend Allen Iverson. The same style uniforms that Philadelphia wore as its standard set when James entered the NBA in 2003.
And after James made a fadeaway 20-footer with 27.4 seconds remaining to put the Lakers up by five — his fourth straight jump shot — he paraded down the court in a building, Xfinity Mobile Arena, that's had four different title sponsors since he was drafted into the league.
That last
