He finished with 26 points in a 121-107 Lakers victory.
“I just go out there and try to prepare and be the best every night I step on the floor,” James said after the game. “If I’m in uniform, I’ve got to do things that help our team win. If it’s scoring, rebounding, defending, assisting, doing little things. Just be available for my teammates throughout the course of the game when I’m on the floor, also on the bench. And I’ve been fortunate enough to do that throughout my career for the majority of it.”
