Never in his 21-illustrious years of career had LeBron James made a comeback bigger than what he and the Los Angeles Lakers were able to overcome last night. And it was a thriller in some fashion – action-packed from the very beginning till the end. A rival derby that was poised to be the talk of the town. As such, it didn’t fail to impress the fans.
It the was Los Angeles derby as both Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers met in what would be a feisty game from the very first whistle. And sure enough, the game paved the way for what would be a mouth-watering game of pure dominance from the visiting side as the Clippers dominated the first 3 halves. Extending their lead by 21 points, it looked like a wrap but the Lakers and James had other plans, making what would be one of the biggest comebacks in his career.
Keep executing. The game is not ever over until it’s double zeroes. We just kept fighting, kept getting defensive stops, made some shots.

The 4th quarter was a decisive one as the Lakers cut short of the Clipper’s attack force, allowing them to score only 16, double the points in the first 3 quarters. And in terms of offense, they were reluctant and ruthless scoring 39 and getting that impressive win in what would be one the best comebacks in the NBA.

Kawhi Leonard and James Harden were the stars for the Clippers as both contributed to 49 points, in what would be a dominating start for the visitors. But all fell apart as LeBron James took matters into his own hands scoring 19 points from his 34 in the last quarter, making an impossible comeback possible, as the Lakers went on to win it at the end.
