The Lakers, now 3-0 under new head coach JJ Redick, showcased their offensive prowess early in the game, building a lead of up to 15 points in the first half.
However, the Kings fought back valiantly, narrowing the deficit to just four points by halftime. The third quarter saw Sacramento take a brief lead, but James', who made history with his son recently, leadership in the fourth quarter was pivotal.
He scored 16 points in that final period alone, including a crucial three-pointer that capped an 8-0 run and gave the Lakers a commanding 101-94 lead.
Lakers supporters were quick to praise LeBron's incredible performance after the game against Kings. Reactions flooded social media, with many expressing disbelief at his ability to dominate at nearly 40 years old.
Comments included sentiments like “Bron 30pt triple double at 39 is crazy. He's 2 months away from 40 ffs” and “LeBron really has been outstanding today. Thank you thank you.” Another fan exclaimed, “BRON TRIP DOUB AT DAMN NEAR 40,” highlighting his remarkable longevity and skill.
Meanwhile, Anthony Davis also had a standout performance, contributing 31 points and nine rebounds. His clutch three-pointer with just 37 seconds left on the clock extended the Lakers' lead to 128-123 after the Kings had closed in.
The Kings' Domantas Sabonis also had an impressive outing, recording a triple-double with 29 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists despite his team falling short.
The victory not only solidifies the Lakers' strong start but also underscores James's enduring impact on the game.
The Lakers will look to maintain their momentum as they prepare for their next challenge against the Phoenix Suns on Monday in what marks the beginning of a five-game road trip.
With this win, LeBron James further cements his legacy as one of basketball's all-time greats, continuously proving that age is merely a number when it comes to his performance on the court.
