LeBron was amazing of course, but the most encouraging sign for the Lakers was Austin Reaves re-emerging at the end of overtime (and the third quarter on, to a lesser extent). They better hope that gets him out of his early-season funk. – 1:03 PM

ESPN Stats & Info: LeBron James picked up his 81st 30-point game since turning 35 years old. That passes Karl Malone for the most by any player after turning 35 in NBA history. -via Twitter / November 2, 2023
A 12th straight loss to their neighbors, the Clippers, seemed certain, and it almost assuredly was going to be lopsided and ugly. Then, thanks to an effort led by the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, it wasn’t. LeBron James, who hadn’t beaten the Clippers since the bubble in 2020, scored 35 points in 42 minutes, helping the Lakers win 130-125 in overtime. “He’s been phenomenal down the stretch in this early season,” Anthony Davis said of James. “I think it’s [that] they’re kinda banking minutes early on. And then letting him just kinda flow throughout the fourth quarter. He’s making the right plays. He’s getting to the basket. His jumper was working tonight in the mid range, making the right reads to shooters on the perimeter. -via Los Angeles Times / November 2, 2023
