On Monday night, the Boston Celtics will be visiting LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in California.
James had a tҺrilling highlight in the first half.
The four-time NBA champion grabbed the оffensive rebound, started a fast break, and then set up Rui Hachimura for a slam off the assist.

With a record of 16-14 after 30 games, the Lakers have earned the ninth seed in the Western Conference.
They ended a four-game losing slide with their most recent 129-120 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
James was absolutely outstanding in his 37 minutes of play, tallying 40 points, 7 boards, 7 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks on 13/20 field goal shooting and 5/5 three-point shooting.
The Lakers will play Thursday’s home game against the Charlotte Hornets after their game against the Celtics.
