As LeBron James kicks off his 20th NBA season, here's (nearly) six straight minutes of pure buckets from the 2021-22 campaign - avg. 30.3 ppg last season, his highest scoring output since 2007-08!
SLATE (10/20)
(TNT) • MIL 90 (1-0) @ PHI 88 (0-2)
GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO (MIL): DD - 21, 13 & 8 DIMES!
-Ugly offensive game for both teams - Milwaukee got the job done behind nice performances from Giannis (expected) & Brook Lopez (less expected?), who combined for 38 & 17 boards
TNT GAME OF THE NIGHT
CLIPPERS 103 (1-0) @ LAKERS 97 (0-2)
P. George (LAC): DD - 15, 10 & 4 dimes

***
• Clippers take the 1st “Battle for LA” matchup of the season. John Wall and Kawhi Leonard! (easing back into action following ACL injury a couple seasons ago) offered great support off the bench, while Ivica Zubac pitched a perfect game from the field (14 pts on 6/6 shooting w/ 17! rebounds)
