Lakers came up empty late, but should trust LeBron's decisions
LOS ANGELES - Anyone that's paid attention to LeBron James' career - whether he was dishing to Donyell Marshall when he was with the Cleveland Cavaliers, or Udonis Haslem when he was with the Miami Heat -- should not have been surprised Sunday when, with less than 20 seconds left and the Los Angeles Lakers down by 2, he passed it to Kentavious Caldwell-Pope for an open 3 to try to win it.
"I always got a chance at a shot," James said of his positioning - two feet in the paint with seemingly an angle to sneak a layup by Nikola Vucevic - when he chose to kick it out to Caldwell-Pope.
