LeBron James • Los Angeles Lakers
LeBron James had 38 points (13-of-21 FGs), 10 rebounds, four assists, two steals, two blocks and five three-pointers in Game 3 against the Timberwolves on Friday.
It’s been a career full of outstanding performances for LeBron James and the 40-year-old small forward delivered yet another in Game 3. With Luka Doncic available, but dealing with a stomach bug, James carried the Lakers with 38 points and five made three-pointers. Los Angeles found themselves in a tie game with four minutes left before the Timberwolves pulled away. James scored almost as many points in Game 3 (38) as he did in the first two games of the series combined (40). It’s a quick turnaround for the Lakers who will look to avoid falling behind 3-1 in the series in Game 4 Sunday.
