LeBron James against the Cavs

LeBron James led the Lakers on his return to the Land with an impressive 32 points, 14 rebound and 7 assists performance on 11-20 shooting from the field. He was the leading scorer in the game from both the sides.

King James was coming on the back of a 51 point night at the Miami Heat and looked set to dominate right from the tip-off. He had 18 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists at the end of the first half. With most of the other Lakers on the roster unable to provide consistent scoring, James had to carry most of the offensive load in the fourth quarter to close out a tight game.

LeBron James is averaging 28.9 PPG, 8.1 REB and 6.9 assists over the course of the 17 games and is shooting 50% from the 3 point line in November. King James is well and truly back in the lead contention for the MVP race.
