LeBron James was unstoppable on Saturday night, putting up a vintage triple-double to carry the Los Angeles Lakers to a 131-127 victory over the Sacramento Kings, snapping their recent struggles against the team. The sellout crowd at Crypto.com Arena watched in awe as the 39-year-old James tallied 32 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists, marking his first triple-double of the season and the 142nd of his career.
With the Lakers trailing late in the game, LeBron’s performance became the catalyst they needed, scoring 16 points on a flawless 6-for-6 shooting while adding five rebounds and six assists in the fourth quarter alone. “LeBron was kind of LeBron,” admitted Kings center Domantas Sabonis. “He went off and did his thing.”
The Lakers, now 3-0, are off to a red-hot start, with James reminding everyone that he’s still more than capable of taking over games.
