NBA ROUND-UP: LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Jayson Tatum star as Lakers, Mavs and Celtics win

LeBron James produced another virtuoso performance as his 37 points lifted the Lakers to a 136-134 road win over the Sacramento Kings.

De’Aaron Fox had a chance to win the game with a very deep 3-pointer, but could only hit the rim. Fox was buoyed up immediately after the game after Westbrook apparently fouled him as he continued his attempt to win the game.

James played more minutes than any other player in Sacramento and was the leading scorer with 37 points, seven assists and eight rebounds as LA won its fifth straight game.

Thomas Bryant was brilliant for the Lakers, scoring 29 points and 14 rebounds. Russell Westbrook had 23 points, 15 assists and five rebounds off the bench.

For the Kings, Fox had 34 points and Domantas Sabonis added 25 to go with 12 rebounds.

LeBron James was once again dominant as LA won its fifth straight game on Saturday
