Los Angeles Lakers earned an important and necessary victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 2 of the NBA Playoffs by 117-95.
While the duo of Luka Doncic and LeBron James combined for 52 points, 23 rebounds and 16 assists, there was one play by LBJ that had fans worried.
Luka Doncic and Anthony Edwards share heated words during pre-game between Lakers and Timberwolves
With just under 7 minutes left in the game, the Lakers took advantage of Anthony Edwards’ missed shot. Austin Reaves, who was preparing to shoot, changed his mind at the last minute and threw an alley-oop to James. However, LeBron didn’t jump and missed a layup on the rebound.
Accustomed to LBJ’s big plays, fans reacted to this situation on social network X.
“He threw too late, LeBron was already past the release point into that alley-oop,” added one user. “Tried to send Bron into early retirement,” joked another. “I literally yelled, ‘Austin, he’s 40,’ ” exclaimed another.
LeBron’s upcoming games with Lakers
Despite the fans’ concern, James did not fail to shine, recording 21 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists. A big turnaround from the previous meeting.
Next April 25 and 27 they will face Minnesota Timberwolves again and will try to break the tie by achieving victories that will allow them to keep moving forward and bring a smile to the fans’ faces.

Pittsburgh Steelers draft picks, grades: NFL draft order, mock drafts, rumors as Derrick Harmon taken 21st
Getty Images Fasten your seatbelts, Steelers fans, because the 2025 NFL Draft is shaping up to be a memorable one for Pittsburgh. For a second straight year, the Steelers completely turned over their quarterback room. Gone are Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, who went a combined 10-8 (including the postseason) as Pittsburgh's starting quarterbacks last year. The Steelers re-signed Mason Rudolph and are hoping that Aaron Rodgers decides to join them sometime this spring/summer. With Rodgers still unsigned, the Steelers may be compelled to draft a quarterback, although they have more pressing needs on their roster. But it'll be interesting to see what Steelers general manager Omar Khan does if one of the draft's top-rated quarterbacks falls into their lap at some point during the draft. On Thursday night, Pittsburgh had a chance to select Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders with the 21st pick, […]
New England Patriots draft picks, grades: NFL draft order, mock drafts, rumors as Will Campbell goes No. 4
Getty Images The New England Patriots are currently sitting in the doldrums of the NFL. The once dominant organization has since posted back-to-back 4-13 seasons, and is now on its third coach in as many years. While things have certainly taken a turn for the worst for Robert Kraft's team as of late, there is hope that the Patriots will claw back to relevancy. New England has seemingly found its quarterback of the future after selecting Drake Maye with the third overall pick last offseason, and have since tapped franchise icon Mike Vrabel to lead the organization going forward as its head coach. The club is also hot off the heels of strong free agent class where it brought in the likes of Milton Williams, Carlton Davis, Stefon Diggs and Morgan Moses, addressing key areas on the roster. Now, the attention turns to […]
