Lakers Routed in LeBron's Possible Last Game in Cleveland
- Wednesday, the Cleveland Cavaliers routed the Los Angeles Lakers 129-99 before 19,432 fans in a sellout that included a tribute to LeBron James, hinting it might be his final hometown game.
- Ahead of tipoff, a tribute video highlighted James's greatest performance and his lifelong ties to Akron, Ohio, as he became the first NBA player to eclipse 60,000 career minutes.
- Cleveland's third-quarter surge turned the game decisively, with Mitchell leading the Cavs and James scoring 11 points on 3-of-10 shooting, with six turnovers.
- The rout doubled as the Lakers' most lopsided loss of the season, extending the Cleveland Cavaliers' season-high five-game winning streak while Lakers coach J.J. Redick conceded being outcoached and lacking 'juice'.
- James, 41, reiterated he hasn't decided on his playing future, saying 'I don't know what the future holds' and 'I haven't made a decision on the future but it very well could be' during his final year of a $52 million contract.
