LeBron James brings some fortune with him wherever he goes. The man from Ohio has played in 14 Playoffs in his 17 seasons with the NBA. Out of these many, he has entered the conference finals a staggering 11 times. Not very surprisingly, it never happened that his side lost in the first round and this season with Lakers was no unique in those regards.

The Los Angeles Lakers crushed the Houston Rockets in round 2 by winning back-to-back games and expanding the winning margin. LeBron had another great night as he totally overpowered the Rockets, carving a hole in their defense, especially in the first three-quarters of Game 5. So he was happy and Bron being Bron, he expressed his happiness in the funniest way.

LeBron James and his hysterical dance moves

Anthony Davis had 11 rebounds, 4 assists, and 13 points to his name. He had a defensively strong outing and his own reasons to cherish the game. This will be the first time that the 27-YO will play in a conference final. 

So he was in the midst of a courtside interview when LeBron came dancing & hopping to ruin it. All that AD could do was chuckle and keep himself from the cause of distraction.

He has all the right reasons to stay in that elated mood. But this was not the first time in the Orlando Bubble that we saw such glorious moves from Bron. Consider this one where he out of nowhere begins dancing to the tunes of ‘Smooth Operator’ and meanwhile surprises the NBA official escorting him.

Just so funny! So that is how cool he is off the court.

The Lakers are gunning ahead!

Out of many, one cause of relief for head coach Frank Vogel would be the fact that six of the players scored in double-figures. Alex Caruso played good defense. That 17th-minute block of James Harden was phenomenal. Rajon Rondo did a decent job guarding Eric Gordon and limiting him to just 5 points. 

The Lakers as a team shot 19 threes against just 13 from the Rockets. There came just one moment at the beginning of the third quarter that the clash became a 6-point game. But the Lakers just shot up after that with some great performances from Markieff Morris, Danny Green, and Kyle Kuzma.

If it is the Clippers that the Lakers will face next, it’ll be Lakers’ defense vs Clippers’ offense, a genuine treat.
