Los Angeles Lakers registered their 15th win of the season against Orlando Magic at the Staples Center yesterday. However, it wasn’t a comfortable night for the Lakers as they struggled in the first quarter of the game. But the Lakers have one thing that makes every other team in the NBA envious of them – LeBron James.

And, as usual, King James happened, and the Lakers bounced back, being 7 points behind, and won the game 106-94. James had a dominant performance against the Magic as he recorded another triple-double with 30-11-10. In fact, James led the Lakers to a 23-0 run in the third quarter.

This was the sixth time he recorded 30 or more points in the last eight games. Without LeBron, the Lakers were surely losing this one. Later, James reacted to his own performance on his social media.

James has been on top form in the last few games. He has flexed life into an inconsistent Lakers side with some dominant performances in the last few days. Coach Frank Vogel later said that LeBron inspires the whole team with his efforts.

During the game vs. the Magic, LeBron came up with another highlight as he made an insane chase-down block. The Magic were on a break and RJ Hampton was going for the basket. However, LeBron came from behind and blocked the shot and then celebrated it by doing Dikembe Mutombo’s iconic finger wag celebration.
