At 41 years old, LeBron James continues to defy Father Time while leading a short-handed Lakers squad missing key contributors. Against a Houston team featuring Kevin Durant's return, the veteran forward attacked the rim with authority and threw down a powerful reverse windmill to energize the home crowd. James orchestrated the Lakers offense with seven assists while contributing 28 points and eight rebounds in a 101-94 victory that put Los Angeles up 2-0 in their Western Conference first-round series. · Apr 22, 2026
