Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James was not messing around on Tuesday night as they took on the Houston Rockets in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

LeBron James also had a huge block on Austin Rivers before the end of the third quarter, which was a tremendous a way to cap off the period for the Lakers. Clearly, LeBron put an emphasis on his defense.
