LeBron James fans could not watch him win
Even though both LeBron fans got to meet Savannah James, their night had a minor setback. They could not watch LeBron James win on Christmas Day. The Los Angeles Lakers were dominated by the first-seeded Boston Celtics. LeBron did not perform to his maximum potential and finished the game with only 16 points. Meanwhile, Boston put up a great team performance and won the game 126-115. The two fans got to witness Anthony Davis’ incredible 40-point 13-rebound performance.
