Kobe, LeBron Battle One Last Time in Cleveland; Lakers Fall to Cavs

The Kobe vs. LeBron debate has divided Lakers fans and Cavs/Heat fans for years, allowing both to engage each other in some bloody battles in the comments section. I was one of those people. Now, that we've hit the present and with LeBron aging and Kobe retiring at the end of the season, these last two games between these two legends should be taken into appreciation. So one last time, Kobe Bryant and the Lakers battled LeBron James and the Cavs in Kobe's final appearance in Cleveland. Kobe finished the game with with 17 points on 5-16 shooting, but LeBron James' 29 point performance, along with Kyrie Irving's 35 point performance helped the Cavs edge out the Lakers 111-120. Lou Williams was the Lakers' top performer this game, scoring 28 points on 9-15 shooting and Jordan Clarkson added 22 points to round out the starters. D'Angelo Russell continues to lead all scorers off the bench, finishing with 15 points and taking a nut shot from a pass attempt from LeBron (yes, I saw the video).

Final Score: @ Cleveland 111-120 [L]
