\n LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. \u2014 LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers showed some rust.<\/p>\n

They knocked it off with time to spare.<\/p>\n

Anthony Davis scored 34 points, James had the go-ahead basket with 12.8 seconds left and the Lakers moved closer to clinching the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference playoffs by topping the Los Angeles Clippers 103-101 on Thursday night in the second game<\/a> of the NBA\u2019s re-opening doubleheader.<\/p>\n

James had 16 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists to help the Lakers move 6 1\/2 games ahead of the Clippers in the West with seven games remaining. Kyle Kuzma added 16 points.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt felt like a real game to me, two teams battling. \u2026 Can\u2019t complain for the first game,\u201d Davis said.<\/p>\n

Paul George had 30 points and Kawhi Leonard scored 28 for the Clippers, who had an 11-point lead midway through the third in a game with deep ebbs and flows. The Clippers got that lead after a 26-5 run; the Lakers immedia<\/a>tely rebutted with a 36-14 run to reclaim control.<\/p>\n

And it still came down to the final moments.<\/p>\n

George\u2019s 3-pointer with 1:50 left cut the Lakers\u2019 lead to 99-98. James muscled his way to a layup on the next possession, and then George hit another 3 to tie the game at 101 with 29 seconds remaining.<\/p>\n

James followed his own miss down the lane for the go-ahead basket, then was brilliant on the last defensive possession \u2014 forcing the ball out of Leonard\u2019s hands and covering George as his 3-point try at the buzzer misfired.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t have self-inflicted wounds and I thought we had too many of them,\u201d said Clippers coach Doc Rivers, whose team \u2014 which remains short-handed with Lou Williams still in quarantine and Montrezl Harrell tending to a family matter \u2014 gave up 29 points off turnovers.<\/p>\n

Thursday marked the NBA\u2019s first game action in 141 days, the league getting back to work after the coronavirus pandemic forced a shutdown.<\/p>\n

During the pandemic, a renewed discussion about racial injustice happ<\/a>ened in this country \u2014 the conversation that surrounds this NBA restart. The courts have \u201cBlack Lives Matter\u201d on them, and the Lakers and Clippers knelt together during the national anthem in a silent protest to demand equality. New Orleans and Utah did the same in the night\u2019s opener.<\/p>\n

James \u2014 who is going to win his first assist title \u2014 had five in the first quarter to get teammates going, and then his first basket of the restart came on a dunk early in the second quarter to put the Lakers up 37-24.<\/p>\n

But for a stretch that basically spanned a full quarter, spanning the second and third periods, the Lakers couldn\u2019t make a shot. They went 1 for 10 to end the half, then 0 for 9 to start the third and the Clippers took advantage.<\/p>\n

They turned a 50-40 deficit into a 66-55 edge in the third. And then it was the Lakers\u2019 turn to rally, slicing the Clippers\u2019 lead to 77-76 going into the fourth.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a good game,\u201d Leonard said. \u201cStill had fun out there. It was great to be back on the floor.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
