The Los Angeles Lakers pulled off an incredible Game 4 win to take a 3-1 series lead over the Memphis Grizzlies in OT.

LeBron James came up big at the end of regulation after he hit a game-tying layup with 0.8 seconds left that sent the game to OT. But if the clock had 1.4 seconds instead of 0.8, James would’ve probably had one of the greatest highlights of his NBA career with a half-court shot that went in just after the buzzer.

Thankfully, the shot didn’t go to waste as the Lakers pulled the win off in OT. James was again the star man, as he hit the shot that gave LA a 5-point lead with under 40 seconds on the clock. 


LeBron James Playing For His Teammates 

One of the biggest criticisms of LeBron so far in this series has been the passive play everyone has seen from him. James is letting other players do a lot of the work even if it puts the team in bad situations. Though many claim it’s because he’s not being aggressive, it seems that is LeBron’s way of keeping his young teammates engaged and making the game easier for them. 

More aggression will definitely help the Lakers not be put into situations where they’re going to OT, but James has empowered his teammates to carry him to wins now more than ever. Playing playoff basketball with all the miles LBJ already has is not easy, and it seems he wants to have more in his tank for the later rounds. 

For now, watching Austin Reaves lead the team in scoring in Game 4 while he is hustling to get 20 rebounds is something James is perfectly content with.
