LeBron James delivered another mutant offensive performance against Orlando. 31 points, 10 rebounds and highlights in every direction, but it was insufficient to get rid of the Magic. Blame it on that devil Franz Wagner and Anthony Davis' missed free throws.
LeBron James had a message to send last night. He wanted to prove that, even at almost 40 years old, the King was not yet ready to give up his throne. An idea that the Chosen One from the start of the meeting with a boning of poor Jonathan Isaac, victim of a new poster from BronBron.

The young magicians do not let themselves be defeated and the match remains close. Then comes the 4th quarter where number 23 catches fire with three consecutive 3-pointers. It’s a shame he wasn’t impressive in defense throughout the game.

Except it's still not enough and Orlando hangs on again and again. Despite a big defensive rebound and a pass from quaterback for Anthony Davis who can finish in the circle.
However, even with all his efforts, there are elements that LeBron cannot control. With 20 seconds left, AD missed two free throws that could have sealed the victory for Los Angeles.
The rest, we know it. Franz Wagner sends a warhead from Berlin to secure the Magic heist.
LeBron James finished this meeting with 31 points (12/22 shooting, 5/9 from distance), 10 rebounds and 7 assists. Like good wine, King improves with time.
