When everything looked already after a loose victory for the Nets against phases early disappointing Lakers, the homeowners, especially in the person of Kings, turned up again and had actually cleared the game in the final minute. This was followed by a spectacular Dunk with foul of NIC Clayton about James, on the LA then had no answer anymore — not LeBron, who scored 39 points and thus pushed it in place one of the All-Time Scoring List at Christmas — past Kobe Bryant.
He has operated an incredible effort, said David Finale, who reproduced Frank Bird as Head Coach, about the performance James'. During the defeat series, this came to 31.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 5.2 assists. I'm not a particularly patient person. No one will have pity with us, said LeBron himself.
This also contributed 9 rebounds and 7 assists and met good 14/25 from the field. Only from the distance was nothing (3/9). Support was only phase. While Russell Westbrook despite a triple doubles (13 points, 12 rebounds 11 assists, 4/20 FG, 0/3 3FG) mostly disappointed, convinced Malik Monk (20, 8/13 FG) and Carmelo Anthony (17, 6/15 FG, 11 rebounds) from the bank. The duel of the reservists were clearly to the Lakers (44:12), thanks to dominance in the Outbreak (21:11) and good rebounding (47:41) was also the weak three-line quota (28.6 vs. 43.8 percent) almost compensated will.
The Nets, in which only one of the Big Three was involved with James Harden, had an unregulated hero in addition to the bearded (36, 10/25 FG, 10 rebounds, 10 assists). Patty Mills sank 8 threesomes — No more successful triples on Christmas — for a total of 34 points. Even in the final phase, Mills was always up with critical plays. His plus / minus from +19 was the best of all actors. Otherwise, the Nets only score Bruce Brown (16) and Deandre 'Memory (15) double-digit.
The Lakers started with Westbrook, Wayne Ellington, Taken Horton-Tucker, James and Dwight Howard in the game. At the Nets, Harden, Mills, Brown, Memory and Clayton started together for the first time. And that looked good! The threesome fell, which resulted in an early 12-point leadership. Stanley Johnson and Monk brought energy from the bank for the Lakers, but while LA 7 turnover allowed in the first twelve minutes, the Nets 0 were 0. The hosts were from the distance of freezing cold (1/8), 38:23 Nets.

A 9: 0 race then brought the Lakers quickly in the quickest distance. The defense was significantly improved, causing simple points in transition. While James in the ranking of the All-Time-Christmas Scorer took place one of Kobe Bryant (395 points), the clearance against the Nets at halftime looked better (62:66). A very strong neighborhood of LeBron (16 points), many free throws and only 30.8 percent from the enemy's field.
And for a short time, it should be even better after the pause tea: Threesome of Ellington and Anthony, which was allowed to open up for Howard, made for the first leadership since the initial phase. But it should also stay the last thing in the game. Harden cracked early the 30-point brand, LeBron continued to meet no distinction and received almost no support. In the minutes without the king, the Lakers were disassembled. After the third section, the game was supposedly decided. The 82: 102 residue was the highest for L.A. so far.
Hard shad a player with Mills at his side, who wore the team (already 28 points). But suddenly the game tipped again. At the level of 84: 107, the Lakers laid a 17: 0-Run. LeBron sank in the sixth attempt his first threesome, harden picked up a flagrant one for an elbow strike in the abdomen of Horton-Tucker.
Several times the Lakers had the chance to further shorten from 101: 107, several layups fell out, five minutes remained the Nets without counter. And then Mills was there again, who sank his seventh threesome. James countered, harden picked up his fifth foul and the king put on Layup just two minutes before the end.
