Back to back wide open 3pt misses from Bradley and Augustin while down 3 captures this team's inability to ever seize the moment. This will be an L.

LeBron is still the GOAT. Shame on the Lakers for wasting what's left of his career.

A 6 point lead for this team might as well be 2 points.

Reaves is honestly a godsend. The lone bright spot for LA this season.

WB tried man, but Lakers somehow overcame 6 Warriors on the court.

And nice way for LeBron to make-up his last performance against GS (well, that 4th qtr).

Absolutely remarkable performance, just dragged this team kicking and screaming to a win.

He's less than a tenth of a point per game behind Embiid after this, I really hope he guns for the scoring title. Being the oldest player ever to win it would at least salvage something out of this disaster of a season.

So for the Lakers to win, LeBron can’t just have a good game or even a very good game, but the best game ever played by a 35+ year old ever (other than Kareem 1985 game 5 vs. Boston and the closeout GOAT game in 1987).

Should have honestly hogged the ball and took 38 shots like Jordan did in Washington. Bron would have 63+ easy in this game.

1. Embiid - 29.47 PPG
2. Giannis - 29.43 PPG
3. LeBron - 29.41 PPG

Insanely close

Could be a lot of fun down the stretch if it remains that way.

If he secures the all time scoring record, this factoid will make it more impressive.

Slow and steady wins the (scoring) race.
Don't believe the hype...
