The Los Angeles Lakers have been on a hot streak by winning the last five of seven games. Their recent success has been spearheaded by LeBron James‘ tremendous play on the court. He recently became the NBA’s 5th all-time leading scorer with a 44 point effort.
Last night the Lakers played in Miami against the Heat and LeBron was on fire the whole game. LeBron put on a dazzling performance for the Miami crowd by scoring a season high 51 points. This was only the 12th 50+ point performance his career and his first as a Laker. On a funny note, it turns out LeBron was actually dared by his teammate Lance Stephenson to score 50 at the end of the game.
