After a sloppy first half of action, LeBron James elevated his game to the necessary level the Los Angeles Lakers needed in Game 4, but he got plenty of help on the night, with some clutch plays by Rajon Rondo and Anthony Davis in the final minute, but perhaps the most important contributions of the night in addition to LeBron came from Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.
KCP, the first player of Klutch Sports to join the Lakers all the way back in 2017, delivered the bread from heaven that Rob Pelinka compared him to during his introductory press conference. After a Jimmy Butler missed 3, LeBron found Caldwell-Pope in the right corner for a crucial 3-pointer to put the Lakers up by 5. Then Caldwell-Pope had a right-hand drive on Duncan Robinson to put the Lakers up by 7.

The Lakers needed contributions from everyone, but with the game in the balance and the Heat on the verge of taking the lead, KCP came through big. LeBron James was amazing in the 2nd half, scoring 17 of his 28 points in the 2nd half, having only one turnover in the 2nd half after putting up five turnovers in the 1st half.
