LeBron James is enraged at a play that was bloodied but not foul.
Blood was shed during a play, but it wasn’t ruled a foul against him.
The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 134-110 on Sunday night, led by an outstanding effort by Angelo Russell, who finished with 34 points, and LeBron James, who added 28 points. The Lakers are now back at.500.
In the midst of this victory, something unexpected happened in the Blazers game. LeBron James experienced a memorable moment while playing a violent role. Amazingly, there was no foul signaled.
With a spectacular move, Russell demonstrated his abilities and helped the Lakers score a season-high 35 points off fast breaks. Russell faked a behind-the-back pass to LeBron James, who was running alongside, and managed to hold onto the ball and finish the lay-in.
Russell’s aggressive style was commended by LeBron James, who also emphasized their coordinated efforts to locate him, especially during a transition.
Russell and James, who together scored the Lakers’ first 19 points of the fourth quarter, were a crucial combination. But even in the midst of Russell’s outstanding play on the court, a viral video showed a moving scene on the Lakers bench.
Russell looked like he was about to cry or had already started crying. Owing to his significant participation in trade negotiations, Lakers supporters conjectured about Russell’s future, wondering if the tearful moment portended an impending trade departure in the days ahead.
