On Saturday, the Lakers had an opportunity to achieve back-to-back wins for the first time in two months, but instead, they faltered in the final quarter and lost to the struggling Washington Wizards.
In that contest, LeBron James moved into second place on the NBA’s career scoring list. On Monday, he will return to his old stomping grounds and play against the team he was a member of for the majority of his adult life.
The Cavs have been one of the NBA’s feel-good stories this season. No one outside of Ohio expected much of them, but they’re on track to return to the playoffs for the first time since James left them, and they will be a tough challenge for whoever they face in the first round of the postseason.

These two teams faced each other early in the season in L.A., with the Lakers pulling away for a 113-101 victory.
