LeBron James turned in a vintage performance on Friday night as he went off in the Los Angeles Lakers' Game 3 matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The NBA's all-time leading scorer finished with a game-high 38 points on 13-of-21 shooting, 10 rebounds, four assists, two steals, two blocks and five triples in 41 minutes of action.

He was shooting from Yucatan. He was shooting it crazy. He caught one in transition, and I was closing out. And I’m like, he not about to shoot

It was a game that the Lakers had to win, and LeBron James had to play great. James almost had a triple-double in this game, pouring in 21 points, grabbing 11 rebounds, and dishing out seven assists.
