Everything was ready because Los Angeles Lakers won again after two consecutive defeats and in this Tuesday’s game, which began on Monday, they came to have a 17-point advantage that they squandered on the Washington Wizards. Lebron James, one of the protagonists.
The haters have always criticized LeBron for his ability to be a clutch player and the performance against the Wizards again gave them reasons. The Lakers were under two points (113-115) and James was left alone against Russell Westbrook, the penetration into the painting was lethal.
LeBron scored two points against Westbrook, tied the game for the Lakers at 115 and took the offensive foul off Russell. In other words, he ate alive at the Wizards star, but not everything would be bliss. James was on the free throw line and his worst karma in the NBA reappeared.
With 9.8 seconds left in the game between the Lakers and Wizards, LeBron went to the free throw line to put Los Angeles ahead, but missed the shot and the ball barely touched the hoop. As if that weren’t enough, in overtime the story in the clutch was going to be repeated.
Extra time between Los Angeles Lakers and Washington Wizards
The Los Angeles Lakers had the last possession to win the game against the Washington Wizards and with 11.6 seconds on the extra time clock Lebron James commanded the attack and threw a very long triple that, like the free kick, barely touched the hoop. The rebound fell to Kyle Kuzma, but he also failed: final defeat by 124 to 127.
