James controlled the game on both offense and defense, leading his team to victory. But the game had some drama too. Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards was ejected in the third quarter after getting a double technical foul for throwing the ball into the crowd.
Even with that challenge, the Timberwolves kept fighting, but they couldn’t stop LeBron and the Lakers. This game proved that when LeBron is in top form, no one can stand in his way.
