LeBron James capped a season-best, 56-point performance with a dunk during a late 8–0 run as the Los Angeles Lakers survived a frantic finish to outlast the visiting Golden State Warriors 124–116 on Saturday night.
The points were the most James has scored as a member of the Lakers, while his 50-point game was the 13th of his career. His previous high since joining Los Angeles had been 51 points at Miami in 2018.
