This is not a dream, this is real life. Skip Bayless has finally thrown some flowers to LeBron James after the King’s great game in front of the Rockets on Sunday night. After an embarrassing loss in Game 1, the Lakers needed to win last night and they did so in a great fashion. Even though the Rockets were a tough rival, the purple and gold could unlock the game and tie the series.
LeBron James showed up when things didn’t look so favorable for his team, making shots, guarding rivals and controlling the clock during the last quarter of the game. Bron would finish the game with 28 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists, leading the Lakers to a very valuable victory. That performance not only earned him praise from fans but none other than Skip Bayless, LeBron’s most famous hater in the world.
The analyst had very good things to say about LeBron after that 4Q, calling him ‘clutch’, praising him for his defensive and offensive work.
LeBron, CLUTCH.

LeBron set a strong early tone in the 4th quarter, and the Lakers stepped it up on defense, but the truth is, the Rockets just started missing open threes. Lakers should thank their lucky stars for Russell Westbrick.

LeBron owed his team after he scored zero in the 4th quarter of Game 1.

The Lakers have tied the series 1-1, but the Rockets demonstrated that even with a big deficit and with Russell Westbrook playing terrible, they can put pressure on the Californians. This series has everything to be the most entertaining one of this round.
Game 3 will be played on Tuesday and we expect to see a game as competitive as Game 2.
