LeBron James drops a new season-high 48 points as Lakers snap three-game skid

LeBron James continued to defy father time as he dropped his new season-high 48 points against the Houston Rockets.

The 38 years old added nine assists and eight rebounds to his name in LA’s 140-132 victory that saw them end their three-game skid.

This is also his third 40-point game in year 20 in the NBA.

Aside from the incredible game of James, the Lakers also played a near-perfect basketball game as they only registered two turnovers the whole game, a new franchise record.

Russell Westbrook remained a steady force off the bench with 24 points, five rebounds, four assists and zero turnover.

The Lakers are now 10-10 on their home floor with an overall 19-24 record.

On the other hand, Alperen Sengun saw his career-night go to waste. The 20-year old scored 33 points with 15 rebounds and six assists in the Rockets’ failed comeback attempt, their 11th straight loss.
