LeBron James finishes 'remarkable' 23rd season as last Lakers star standing

LOS ANGELES — Only on this Sunday could the drama on the screen exceed the drama on the court. The Los Angeles Lakers hosted a Utah Jazz team eager to enter the offseason, while their playoff future was being decided in the Denver Nuggets-San Antonio Spurs game in Texas on ESPN.By halftime, the Lakers’ 131-107 win was mostly assured, and LeBron James and Luke Kennard were shut down for the night. By the end of the game, Dalton Knecht’s best quarter of the season (17 points in the fourth) and some solid stuff from Bronny James were a distant memory, even though they’d happened minutes earlier.Advertisement
