LeBron James is a basketball scholar. But this time, he may not have studied the signature move of one of his evening opponents well enough: Joseph Alvarado. The leader of the New Orleans Pelicans, who lost in overtime on the floor of the Los Angeles Lakers last night, again displayed the genius of his kleptomania by emerging behind the King after a throw-in.
The action didn’t result in a basket, but LeBron looks completely surprised at what just happened to him, like all the victims of “Grand Theft Alvarado”.

This is the only interception of the game for José Alvarado, who was more impactful in attack with 15 points and 4 assists at 6/8. LeBron James compiled 20 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists at 9/23. The hero of the day was neither of these two, but Matt Ryan, author of the basket at the buzzer which sent the match into overtime.
