NEW ORLEANS—LeBron James closed out his 21st NBA regular season Sunday, April 14, looking invigorated, formidable on both ends of the court, and ready to produce in the postseason.
James had 28 points, 17 assists, 11 rebounds, and five steals, and the Los Angeles Lakers claimed the eighth seed in the NBA’s Western Conference with a 124–108 victory over New Orleans that dropped the Pelicans out of a coveted top-six seeding.
