Matteo Berrettini shared his awe as LeBron James’ phenomenal performance helped the LA Lakers make an incredible comeback against rivals LA Clippers.
In their game against the Clippers, the Lakers found themselves down 98-77 in the fourth quarter with 11:40 to play. James then produced one of his best displays of the season to get the biggest fourth-quarter comeback win of his career as the Lakers triumphed 116-112.
In the final 12 minutes of the match, James outscored the entire Clippers team 19-16. Combined with his assists, that meant that he was directly involved in the scoring of 30 of his team’s 39 points in the fourth quarter.
The 39-year-old, who is currently the oldest player in the NBA, ended the game with 34 points, six rebounds and eight assists. He shared his thoughts after the game, saying (as quoted by the BBC):
“I was in the zone, can’t really describe it. That was just the feeling – when you feel like everything you put up is going in, [You] wish you could stay in it forever. [You] feel you have a superpower.
“My teammates did a great job of continuing to find me, and I then just tried to dictate the tempo, dictate the game as we started making a run for it and getting the game closer.”
Matteo Berrettini, who is a huge fan of the NBA and LeBron James, took to Instagram to react to James’ stunning performance. He shared a post praising the Lakers superstar’s efforts against the Clippers on his story and captioned it:
