LeBron James owned the moment, and in the end, the Houston Rockets

HOUSTON — There were a lot of things that could’ve credibly been going through LeBron James’ mind in the final minutes of Game 6 Friday night. He sat alone on the end of the Lakers’ bench while players from both teams went through the final minute of pregame warmups and took a deep breath.He stared out at the court with intent, but his focus went inward. This wasn’t the time to think about the future, about whether or not he’d keep pushing himself physically and mentally through a 24th season next fall. This wasn’t the time to think about the past, about the growing possibility that his 23rd season could end with his team becoming the first in league history to take a 3-0 lead then squander it.Advertisement
