| LeBron goes for a dunk in a game against Lakers |
For a last few exciting minutes in the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers tried the championship-caliber dynamo this season, making a big run and surging past the Miami Heat. And then LeBron James calmly demonstrated why the Heat are the defending NBA champions and the Lakers are stuggle in 11th place in the Western Conference.
James scored 39 points with eight assists, while Wade scored 27 points on his 31st birthday and the Heat held off the Lakers 99-90 Thursday night, scoring the final nine points to finish their six-game road trip in style.
"We closed out the trip the right way, and we want to build from it," James said. "We wanted to do much better, of course, after the way we started, losing to Indiana and Portland."
They finished up just fine at Staples Center, getting their second win in their last eight games here against the Lakers.
