?Got Alive When It?s OT?: LeBron James Surprises Himself and Shocks Fans after 1 Record He Never Achieved Before

In Game 4 of the first-round playoff series between the Los Angeles Lakers and Memphis Grizzlies, LeBron James once again put on an incredible display. King James’ game-tying basket with just 0.8 seconds left in regulation time forced overtime. The Lakers won 117-111 in overtime thanks to his four critical points, giving them a commanding 3-1 series lead.

LeBron, however, wasn’t the only Lakers player to stand out in this exciting game. Austin Reaves demonstrated his ability to perform under duress by scoring a career-high 23 points. Despite having trouble scoring, Anthony Davis also delivered five significant points in overtime to help the Lakers secure the victory.

The Lakers’ tenacity and defense prove decisive in the victory over Grizzlies

The Lakers also faced some difficulties during the game. With only five minutes remaining in regulation, they were down by seven points. However, the Los Angeles side swiftly gained momentum thanks to a surge that was sparked by D’Angelo Russell’s three straight 3-pointers. From that point on, they never fell behind in the extra period, displaying their tenacity and will to win.

On the other side, the Grizzlies battled valiantly, led by Desmond Bane’s remarkable 36 points and tie-breaking layup in the final seconds of regulation to give his team a chance to win. The Lakers’ defense, inspired by Anthony Davis’ important block of Ja Morant’s jump shot at the end of regulation, proved to be too much for the Grizzlies to overcome. Ja Morant also made a scary drive at James, which had fans concerned.?

In a post-game interview, James expressed surprise at his own performance. He said he was not aware that he had achieved a career-high 20 rebounds in the game. James spoke to reporters and admitted that he was surprised by his own performance. “When my teammates told me I had 20 and 20, I had no idea that I had 20 and 20,” he said. “First time I’ve done it in my career, I have done pretty cool things in my career, I never had 20 and 20 before, so that was pretty cool I guess.“
