LeBron James showed no mercy towards his former team amid the complicated situation they are going through with the Jimmy Butler case, as the ‘23′ led the Lakers to a much-needed victory with 22 points, 5 rebounds, and 9 assists (117-108) against the Miami Heat.

LeBron James' nice gesture with a fan who cried when she saw him play
Faced with the many passions incited by the legendary player, the game between the Lakers and Miami left a very beautiful image at the Crypto.com Arena, after a young fan broke down in tears upon seeing LeBron just a few meters away, sitting in the front row.
Once the meeting was over, the legendary basketball player showed his human quality and took a photo with her, as well as gave her a bracelet as a gift.
The 40-year-old star, true to his efficiency, made 9 out of 15 field goals and 3 out of 6 three-pointers, while Anthony Davis did not disappoint as his sidekick with a double-double of 22 points and 11 rebounds on 10 out of 21 shooting. However, the best player for the home team was Rui Hachimura with 23 points.
The purple and gold team came back from a 54-66 halftime score and entered the last quarter only trailing 83-85. With the victory, the Lakers are fifth in the West with a record of 21-17 and the Heat remain ninth in the East with a record of 20-19.
The Heat missed their star, Jimmy Butler, a lot. The athlete, who rebelled against his team to force a trade - and therefore was sidelined from the team - completed his seventh and supposedly final game of suspension last night.
