Los Angeles Lakers vs Washington Wizards Full Game Highlights | 2021-22 NBA Season

And Kispert was wide open for possession now for Lakers. Normally, they would come down and look for an alley-oop. Instead, it's LeBron! Took him for... LeBron trying to back in on his former teammate. Good defense by Kuzma. Here's Monk trying to get to the rim with the left hand and the company score. Russ had a huge scoring game the other night. 30 points against another one of his former teams, Houston. LeBron! Kuzma will come into the front door. Looks to attack the rim. They cut him off with the double. Kispert corner. Got it for three. Brings it to a one-point game. Washington, bottom five in the NBA three-point percentage. Monk got it! Answers back with a three. He's always been good with that runner off of one foot in the paint like that. Nice touch. LeBron. Backdoor! Good knock! Gets doubled up. Netto's gonna have to chase it down. Six to shoot. Netto looks to attack. LeBron goes right past it. The clean-up from Kuzma! So often, players turn their head to look at the driving player and forget about the fundamental of boxing out. LeBron throws it down! Finish. Denny Abdi. Drop the ball. Underneath. Throw it down! Higher game the other night. That one did not draw iron. No whistle. Here we go the other way. Three on two. Over to Carmelo. Carmelo Anthony! Kispert. Into the frontcourt comes Smith. That basketball will travel. Out it goes for Porzingis! Of all time, behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He's got less than 200 now to catch it past Carl Milan. And we're speaking of LeBron, and he's got three! Stay stationary. He can affect your shot. Now that puts a halt to a 9-0 whiz run. Started 0-3. He's 0-3. T.H.T. in perfect position. Takes it away from Smith. All the way! 80% from the field. Again, it's six straight opponents who have shot at least 50%. Russ goes all the way to the ribbon! He gets it past his waist on the dribble. If you try to play him, it's going to be difficult. It's in the air. Got it to Monk somehow. Now Malik attacks. Blocked by Gaffer. Taken by Gabriel. Blocked by Saderenski. And it's going to be a 24-second violation. That's the fifth turnover for Washington. Lakers have turned it over three times. Monk. Couple of big steps off the glass. And score! It's up to Dime. And Austin Reeves, who is a big scorer. Regular air to underneath. A vast repertoire of shots. He's always had a nice arsenal. Monk. Full out of him. Three! Raybock-Kersing, he should have made an effort to hit that defensive rebound. LeBron sees Netto in front of him, so he's going to attack and score. Raul Netto. Shaken bank. Trying to get around Reeves. Chase down! LeBron. Blocked by James. The other way. Russ all the way. Can't score! Russ with the left-hand layup. Finishes at the rim. Play 20 minutes. As much as anyone except for Westbrook. LeBron. High archer's good! On LeBron. See if LeBron wants to take him to the basket. Trying to body him. Here comes a double by KCP. Step back. LeBron is good. We can get some consistent stops. Nobody has led in double digits tonight. Kuzma. All the way to the cup. Three starters in double digits. Led by, of course, LeBron, who started at the five tonight. LeBron all the way. Count it! And one. Leading the NBA. They led in that department last year, although clutch games haven't been great. LeBron! Steps into that one! Now LeBron with 29 in the game. They are going to need everything he can deliver tonight. Hang in the air! With one hand! Good play by Ross. Double teaming. Shoveled it to LeBron. Here he comes. LeBron James! LeBron. They're loving it here at Crypto.com Arena. Tonight has been nine. Big time turnaround here in the third quarter. Wizards. Lakers. Kuzma. Got it! Battling each other out on the floor right now. Didn't have to go in the quarter. Horton Tucker, what he loves to do. He loves to do it. Shooting the ball to three-point line. Great program in Gonzaga. Mark View, head coach. Gabriel. Two big steps! Just walks. Here we go. Late show. Up 89-82. Shot on its way for Kispert. His fifth of the night. Russ. Two for 11 on the night. Couple of big steps by Saderenski. And the backhand layup is good. Blocked away by Gafford. You're not going to get passed him. Saderenski to bounce. Smith. Gafford down the middle. Oh! How lucky can you be? LeBron with 11 to shoot. He'll organize things. Trying to move into the lane. Now going to go to the baseline where he hits a 13-footer. Sneha floats in the east. Bounced out of THT. Surrounded. Monk is open! Yes! Back now for Is Smith. In control. Quarterbacking down the floor. Got the bigger guy Gabriel in front of him. Going to use his speed to get around him and score. Just gets it done, doesn't he? Quickly out of the net. Yes, he does. And the Lakers know it. Keeping his foot down was Monk. In front of him. LeBron now trying to back up. Blocks down to three. LeBron over. Coons! Lead of the game. And LeBron's third 40-point game. He's underneath. Make it 42. Biggest buddy. On the Washington team. Hang in the air. Monk. Now Hilton-Tucker. The spin! The slam! The spin and the slam for THT! Casino, resort, and spa. Oh, what a pass! What a pass! Five out of eight from downtown. Going to kick it into the corner. Here comes Reeves. Nobody's going to pick him! Kispert switches off on him. LeBron on the wing. LeBron. Fall back. Yes, sir! Kuzma. They take it away. LeBron the middleman. LeBron. Here he goes. Spinning all the way. Conovic goes. In! Come on! He has worked the crowd all... Very unlike him. He's a 72-and-a-half percenter. LeBron! There it is. 50. Another nickel. He put up a 50. Victory. Happy two times.
