Staring down the Suns defense with the score tied, LeBron James drove right at the rim and scored. The hoops injected life into the game, and ultimately, led to a 100-95 win on a night when the Lakers didn’t have their best stuff for most of it. In their first game in Los Angeles this season, the Lakers sputtered. James played 35 minutes, five more than the informal goal the Lakers’ coaches and medical team had set going into the season. ------©2023 Los Angeles Times.
