NBA Roundup: LeBron James gets season high 46points to help Lakers beat Cleveland Cavaliers; Plus other match reports

LeBron James helped the Lakers beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 115-108 on Monday and became the oldest LA Lakers player to score 40 points in a game since Kobe Bryant’s farewell appearance in 2016.

The 36-year-old finished with a whooping season-high 46 points playing on the eve of the first anniversary of Bryant‘s death.

The huge score on Monday (46) was also his second-highest total as a Laker and the most against his first NBA team.

LeBron also added eight rebounds, six assists, two steals, and two blocks in an awe-inspiring display.

James was playing for the second time in Cleveland since he left to join the Lakers in 2018, and scored 13 points in the final four minutes and 41 seconds.

It helped the Lakers pull away and claim the 10th win out of 10 on the road this season.

They play in Philadelphia, Bryant’s birthplace, on Wednesday in what will be an emotional occasion.

Anthony Davis added 17 points and 10 rebounds as well for the Lakers, while Montrezl Harrell scored 15 coming off from the bench.

Andre Drummond led the way with 25 points and 17 rebounds for the Cavs while Cedi Osman scored 20 points and Collin Sexton finished with just 17.

Recap from other games from Monday

The Orlando Magic put up a solid display on Monday to secure only their second win in their last 10 games, beating the Charlotte Hornets 117-108 in the first regular-season NBA contest in history with two female officials.

Natalie Sago and Jenna Schroeder, who are among the seven females who have officiated in the NBA this season, worked with Sean Wright in the game in Florida.

“This is a big deal,” Schroeder told the NBA website.

“It’s like my feminist dreams come true, that like my personal values are colliding with my professional values and it’s awesome.”

“It’s amazing,” Sago added. “I’m just proud to be part of an organisation that promotes people to do the job based on our abilities, not on our gender, race, ethnicity, those types of things.”

Elsewhere, Malcolm Brogdon who finished with 36 points on the night scored 19 of those in the second half as the Indiana Pacers beat the Toronto Raptors 129-114.

Indiana All-Star Domantas Sabonis injured his left knee early in the game and will have a scan on Tuesday.

Stephen Curry also notched a game-high 36 points in the Golden State Warriors’ triumph over the Minnesota Timberwolves with the game ending 130-108.

The Detroit Pistons managed to break a four-game losing streak in a 119-104 win over the Philadelphia 76ers while the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 125-122.

The Brooklyn Nets pulled away in the final minutes for a 98-85 victory over the Miami Heat while Michael Porter Jr. scored 30 points and Nikola Jokic added 20 points and 10 rebounds as the Denver Nuggets beat the Dallas Mavericks 117-113.

Jaylen Brown scored 26 points while Jayson Tatum on his return to the court added 24 as the Boston Celtics started a run of seven out of eight games on the road with a 119-103 victory at the Chicago Bulls.
