LeBron James Scores Season-High 36 Points in Lakers' Loss to Clippers

LeBron James delivered a season-high 36 points, along with four rebounds and three assists, in the Lakers' 103-88 loss to the Clippers. James shot 15-of-28 from the field and 3-of-7 from beyond the arc, leading a shorthanded Lakers squad. He aggressively attacked the paint, especially after Ivica Zubac's exit, who sustained an ankle injury after landing on James' foot. James fueled a 15-0 run to cut a 22-point deficit and has averaged 30 points over his last three games, shooting 50% from the field, having overcome an early-season sciatica injury.
