LeBron held off the Lakers forced by the Wizards
The Wizards almost pulled away from Los Angeles with a double header, but the Lakers lasted until the end thanks to LeBron James.
The Washington Wizards gave the Lakers a rough time in Los Angeles, but the home team managed to see through to the end and claim a 119-117 win in the first of several games Anthony Davis will miss.
LeBron James was in the lead, scoring 33 points, grabbing 7 rebounds and dishing out 9 assists. Of course, he nearly got killed in the final, momentarily losing the ball in the middle of the court 7.1″ before the final, but regained possession and passed to Thomas Bryant, who nailed the winning basket. Kyle Kuzma, who had 22 points, took a 2.5 inch 3 pointer before the final horn sounded but failed to find the target.
