LeBron James Makes History as Lakers Edge Warriors in Christmas Day Thriller

Posted : 26 December 2024

LeBron James made history on Christmas Day, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a 115-113 victory over the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco. The win, sealed by Austin Reaves' clutch lay-up with one second remaining, marked James’ 11th Christmas Day victory, making him the NBA's all-time leader in such wins. At 39 years old, James added to his legendary career by surpassing the previous record, despite his team losing key player Anthony Davis early in the game due to a twisted left ankle.

 

James finished with 31 points and acknowledged the challenge of playing without Davis, stating that the team's effort had to be heightened. “Everyone has to chip in, especially on the defensive end because AD is our anchor,” he said. Despite the setback, the Lakers showed resilience, working together on both ends of the court. Reaves, who finished with 26 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists, played a pivotal role in securing the win, particularly with his game-winning lay-up.

 

The Lakers had control for most of the game but faced a late scare from the Warriors. Leading 109-100 with just over a minute left, the Lakers watched as Stephen Curry, who finished with 38 points, sparked a 13-4 run to tie the game, including two three-pointers in the final 12 seconds. However, Reaves' decisive play at the basket ensured the Lakers’ victory in a tense finish.

 

In other Christmas Day action, Victor Wembanyama made an impressive debut with the San Antonio Spurs, posting 42 points, 18 rebounds, four assists, and four blocks, but his efforts were not enough as the Spurs lost 117-114 to the New York Knicks. Mikal Bridges led the Knicks with a season-high 41 points, while Anthony Edwards scored 26 points to help the Minnesota Timberwolves defeat the Dallas Mavericks 105-99, who played without Luka Doncic in the second half due to a calf strain.
