LeBron James turned back the years during clutch time in Game 4 vs. the Memphis Grizzlies.
After tying the game and sending it to overtime, James brought life back to the Lakers supporters. He followed it with an amazing layup over Dillon Brooks to give the team a 113-108 lead in OT. In the postgame conference, the King labeled his layup a ‘Kill-Shot,’ which sealed the win for the Lakers.
“You know how momentum plays are made, and you’ve been a part of moments where you know that you can kind of get like a dagger play or kill-shot,” James said. “After that, I was able to make that and-one kind of once they closed the door, but I needed to seal it a little bit. It wasn’t much light at the end for the rest of the game. So, just letting the emotion come out and the fans was once again top-notch for a second consecutive night.”

LeBron James let out all his emotions after making that dagger against none other than Dillon Brooks. The King faced the crowd and flexed while screaming at the top of his voice.
The Lakers now have a 3-1 lead in the series and will head to Memphis to play the decisive Game 5 of the series. If the Lakers can carry over the momentum from their back-to-back wins, it will be tough to stop them from advancing to the Western Conference Semifinals.

LeBron James’ form is incredibly important for the Lakers if they want to make a deep run in the 2023 playoffs.
Considering James was coming back from an injury right before the postseason, many doubted if he could carry the Lakers at 38 years old. Well, James has proven his doubters wrong so far.
Speaking of the King’s performance in Game 4, he recorded 22 points, 20 rebounds, and 7 assists while playing a team-high 45 minutes.
This was the first 20-point, 20-rebound game of James’ career, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. James was welcomed to the locker room with goat noises by his teammates.
The Laker Nation will hope to see LeBron James and co. seal the series in Game 5 and get some rest before playing either the Golden State Warriors or the Sacramento Kings in the next round.
