LeBron James scored more points in the fourth quarter than the whole LA Clippers squad, helping the Los Angeles Lakers overcome a 21-point deficit.

“When the final whistle has not yet sounded and the game clock has not yet reached 4 zeros, the game has not stopped,” LeBron James said, pointing to the electronic clock on the basketball board.

At an age when most of his peers have retired or simply play “floral” games to pass the time, LeBron James can still put a full team on his shoulders, carry the burden, and lead the squad to victory.

That’s what happened at Crypto.com Arena at 12:00 on February 29 Vietnam time, when the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 116-112 after trailing by 21 points in the fourth quarter.

The Los Angeles Clippers led the Los Angeles Lakers by 21 points in the fourth quarter but lost by a final score of 116-112.

LeBron James “started the engine” with three 3-pointers in two minutes, contributing to a 14-2 run that cut the score to 91-100 and forced the Los Angeles Clippers to call a timeout with 8 minutes and 47 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.

However, nothing changed, as the Lakers managed to cut the deficit to five points. LeBron scored 5 personal points and assisted on one more 3-pointer for D’Angelo Russell, prompting the Clippers to call another timeout at 6:53 (99-104).

LeBron James burst with 5 3-pointers in the final 10 minutes of the game.

Kawhi Leonard got two points to temporarily halt the Lakers’ momentum, but it didn’t matter because LeBron James continued to dominate.

Following Leonard’s two difficult baskets, the LA Clippers have the opportunity to force overtime or win the game if they shoot three points successfully (114-112).

Anthony Davis is just behind him, with 20 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 stella, and three blocks. Rui Hachimura tallied 17 points (8-15 FG). Austin Reaves and D’Angelo Russell delivered 13 and 18 points, respectively.

According to ESPN Stats & Info, this is a record comeback for LeBron James. During his 20-year NBA career, the “king” faced a 21-point deficit in the fourth quarter 136 times and never triumphed.
