You might be wondering, with all the buzz around LeBron James returning to Cleveland, just when did that game actually wrap up?
Well, the Lakers ultimately pulled out a 115-108 victory over the Cavaliers on Monday night. It was a game that saw LeBron put on quite a show, especially in that crucial fourth quarter. He poured in 21 of his 46 points in those final 12 minutes, making it clear he still has that magic touch. The game itself would have concluded sometime after the final buzzer sounded, typically around 9:30 PM to 10:00 PM Eastern Time, depending on the exact tip-off and game flow.
It was a homecoming of sorts for James, though a different kind of one than he's experienced before. With limited fans in attendance due to COVID-19 protocols, the atmosphere was certainly unique. Still, seeing him back on the court where he spent so many years, and playing with that intensity, was a significant moment. The Lakers' win kept their perfect road record intact, adding another layer to the narrative of the night.
