The Los Angeles Lakers emerged victorious at their home fort in a game against the Houston Rockets. Their efforts to bag a much-needed win were led by LeBron James, who registered 48 points, and Russell Westbrook who bagged 24 points. For the Houston Rockets, Alperen Sengun’s 33 points and Jalen Green’s 23 points left a minimal impact on the team’s performance. Both teams are currently struggling at the bottom half of the Western Conference Table. So for both teams, each game is important considering the uncertain nature of the table and the league. Amidst all this, during the pregame routine, Shaquille O’Neal left James and Westbrook grooving on the court.

As the Lakers lineup ran through the tunnel, the pressure was on. They had lost three games in a row and to keep their playoff hopes alive, they had to bag a win. With all the pressure in the world to perform, LeBron and Westbrook decided to release the stress a little bit with assistance from Shaq, a Lakers Legend.

The four-time finals MVP and Westbrook immediately reacted and broke into a dance routine. LeBron shot the ball, spun around, and danced, while Westbrook who stood close to the bench tapped his legs and raised his hand. Following this, Westbrook passed the ball to James, who then rushed to the paint and hurled the ball to the board.
