LeBron James is one of the greatest scenes in the history of basketball, but if that's not enough, this morning (Monday through Tuesday) he also got a special motivation, when he was hosted by the Los Angeles Lakers in Cleveland.

LeBron, who finished with 46 points, appeared to be exchanging glances with someone in the stands at the end of the third quarter.

For the fourth quarter he went up alert and determined, finishing it with 21 points in 12 minutes, en route to an evening of 46 points and a 108: 115 victory over the Cubs.

In fact, in the final quarter LeBron scored more than any Cleveland combined, finishing with 19 points.

"It's someone from Cleveland's management," LeBron said of the man from the stands who shouted at him, "he looked really happy and excited that I missed a shot at the end of the third quarter. A little too much of what I like. He tried to cheer on his team, and showed it. I knew. I have another quarter, and the fourth quarter is my favorite. "

So LeBron exploded, shooting from everywhere, burying a three-pointer from almost half a yard, and burying the Cubs with a perfect fade-away shot, after which he turned to his former team’s bench and shook his head.

"No, he did not say a word to me," LeBron said of the man from the stands who lit it, "there is a camera full of cameras, look for it, look how excited he is that I missed a shot. Luckily, I only come here once a year."

* After five games in the Brooklyn uniform, James Harden claims he is starting to adapt and find his place in his new team.

Tonight he provided a sleepy game, scoring just 10 points in three quarters, taking just 4 shots - but in the final quarter he managed to contribute 10 points and finish with 20 points and 8 assists in Brooklyn’s 85-98 victory over Miami.

"I was in the job for eight years, I controlled the ball, I held the ball," Harden says, "now it's a new thing for me, and it's still great."

Kevin Durant, who finished with 20 points and 13 rebounds, claimed Harden demonstrated a "perfect balance" in his attempt to combine shooting and flow.

Durant: "He seems to have moved to a new school, and he is trying to find a way to adapt, and it will take him some time to learn who his teammates are, what his role is, when he should be more offensive, when to score and when to deliver."

And Harden added, "I'm lucky I can do more than one thing on the field, so it's fun for me."

* Victor Oladipo recounts an interesting step he took as part of his recovery: a funeral for his knee injury.

He wrote a "farewell letter" for the injury and buried him in the ground, in a symbolic ceremony that helped him overcome the psychological barrier.

In his words.

Oladipo: "I felt good, but my body was already used to protecting the knee, and I was hesitant. I had to bury the injury and show that I had recovered. Now I am stronger, it gave me the courage and strength."

In the letter he wrote: "Today I bury everything related to the torn strip, I bury all the negativity."

* Amara Studmeier confirmed: Brooklyn management allows him not to coach on Saturday - and he is not with the team from the start of Shabbat until its departure.

Amara, who tries to maintain a Jewish lifestyle, wrote: "I can do this with the wonderful support of the Brooklyn Nets."
