LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are having quite a bit of fun these days. How could you blame them? They came into Tuesday night’s match up against the Oklahoma City Thunder with the best record in the NBA and the NBA’s No. 1 ranked defense.
With Oklahoma City coming in after a grueling loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, LeBron James and the Lakers came out with a lot of energy in the early going of Tuesday night’s match up against the Thunder. James and Anthony Davis, as has been the case the whole season, led the charge for L.A.
James brought that energy as much anybody on the Lakers team, with 13 points, four assists and five rebounds in the first half. That included this steal and dunk by James, where he looked back at the Thunder after his big play.

After saying that his shoulder was already feeling better, Anthony Davis backed up that talk with an fantastic first quarter of shooting. Davis went 7-for-11 from the field for 19 points, four steals and two assists as the Lakers amassed a 63-53 lead at halftime on Tuesday night.
