The Los Angeles Lakers are currently taking on the Boston Celtics which is one of the biggest rivalries in all of sports.
LeBron James knows just how big this game is for the Lakers, in the first quarter, James scored 16 points on 85% from the field with two 3-pointers. He's still been playing great basketball this season even at 36 years old, but this was definitely his best quarter of the season. If the Lakers want to compete this season and play the way that people expect them to, James needs to keep doing some more of this.
Los Angeles is still looking to win the NBA title as they made many moves this offseason to bring in a title-contending team. Unfortunately, it has not played out the way that the Lakers were hoping for as they are only 12-12 on the season. The Lakers' early struggles can be put on their lack of health, and some of the players they brought in not performing to the ability that many expected them to.
At the end of the day, if the Lakers are healthy, a team of James, Russell Westbrook, and Anthony Davis are never going to struggle for the whole season. They're going to be able to figure things out and once they do, Los Angeles is going to be a title contender just like everybody thought they would be.
LeBron is going to look to keep up his success in the second quarter and beyond as the Lakers are going to look to take down a tough Celtics team.
