WITH HIS DESPERATE, 10th-place Lakers down 18 points to the LA Clippers in the fourth quarter, LeBron James went to work in a way he almost never has.

Off a pass from D'Angelo Russell in transition, James pump-faked Norman Powell out of position before launching a triple from his sweet spot on the left wing, cutting his team's deficit to 15. A little over a minute later, James caught another pass from Russell before firing from nearly the exact same spot and getting an identical result, leaving the Lakers down 12 in this late February, Battle-for-LA tilt.
