The Los Angeles Lakers bounced back after the opening night’s loss to the Clippers by crushing the Dallas Mavericks on Christmas Day (138-115). LeBron James, who sprained his left ankle against the Clippers, was back in action and was one of the top scorers for the winners.
He finished the game with 22 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists in 28 minutes of play. However, the game included a moment that LeBron would rather forget — he air-balled a free-throw in the third quarter.
“I’m gonna go home and be double-fisting (wine) so I can not air-ball any more free throws,” James said after the game per Harrison Faigen.
