Another huge effort falls short James amassed 34 points (13-29 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 5-10 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one block in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 125-116 loss to the Kings. Impact James was impressive again versus Sacramento, surpassing the 30-point mark for the 11th time in his past 12 games. The future Hall of Famer added seven boards and six dimes to finish with the type of full stat line fantasy managers have long grown accustomed to. He turned the ball over only once in the game, but his 5-for-10 mark from the free-throw line slightly soured an otherwise dominant performance. James appears to be doing everything he can to defy Father Time and will the Lakers to success, but the team holds a disappointing .500 record more than halfway into the campaign.
