James finished with 36 points (15-26 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal across 35 minutes during Thursday's 138-110 loss to the Spurs.
Despite the 28-point loss, James posted a robust stat line that included his third straight performance of 30-plus points. The Lakers are struggling with Anthony Davis (knee) out for the foreseeable future and a host of players in COVID-19 protocols, but the grizzled veteran keeps chugging along with almost nightly stat-stuffing efforts. Over his past 13 contests, James is averaging 29.3 points (on 52.8 percent shooting from the field), 7.8 boards, 6.8 assists, 2.6 three-pointers, 1.5 steals and 1.2 blocks.
