This game brought back memories of 2013 when George, then with the Indiana Pacers, made a similar statement against James and the Miami Heat. In that iconic game, George passed LeBron to execute a poster dunk, and now it is James who did the same.
Imagine telling a 21-year-old Paul George during his first playoff series against LeBron that he would STILL be dealing with this bs 12 years later.

LeBron James’ dunk over Paul George shows his ability to perform at a high level, even in his 21st NBA season. At 39 years old, James continues to exceed expectations against some of the league’s best defensive players.
Lakers finally ended a four-game losing streak
The Los Angeles Lakers successfully ended their four-game losing streak with a crucial win against the Clippers. This win gives the Lakers a much-needed confidence, as they have been struggling to find their rhythm this season.
Apart from James’s dominant performance, Anthony Davis also played a crucial role in getting the win. Davis helped with 22 points, 10 rebounds, and three steals on 10-of-15 shooting. The Lakers’ bench showed up strong as well, scoring 31 points in total, which was crucial in maintaining the team’s momentum throughout the game.
Especially, Taurean Prince stepped up with a clutch 3-pointer to give the Lakers a three-point lead with just over a minute left and sank crucial free throws with 12 seconds left to maintain the Lakers lead. D’Angelo Russell and Christian Wood, coming off the bench, provided much-needed support, highlighting the depth and potential of the Lakers’ roster.
Coach Darvin Ham’s strategic rotation played a key role in the victory. By effectively managing the minutes of LeBron and Davis in the first half, Ham ensured that the Lakers maintained their momentum. This win against a strong city rival proves that the Lakers are capable of regaining their form and competing at the highest level.
