LeBron James played like the King he is, scoring 37 points and dominating the overtime period, as the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Utah Jazz 138-133 to advance to the playoffs as the sixth seed in the West. But, this win came at a cost, as the Lakers played big minutes to beat the Jazz, which could place them at a disadvantage against the Clippers and Suns. However, James’ performance was an encouraging sign for Lakers fans, showing that he can dominate games and be a true superstar at this crucial juncture of the season, even coming off an injury. Additionally, the Lakers have found a new leader in Anthony Davis, who led the team to three straight wins before this game. The Lakers have come a long way in the past 35 days, moving from the 13th to the 6th seed in the West, with a legit shot to claim the 6th seed by season’s end. All said and done, Laker fans will be hoping and praying that the 38-year old James with his battered foot can carry the Lakers to the playoffs and beyond, perhaps even to the coveted ring.
