"To know I can go out and still make game-winning plays, can affect the game in multiple ways and can still close out a game in the fourth quarter when our team needed when they started making a run is always a good feeling for sure," James said.
The Lakers themselves shot 52.2% from the field. Anthony Davis added 26 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists. Rui Hachimura scored 21 points.
