With the victory, the Lakers are now 7-6 in their first 13 games, which has them as the seventh seed in the Western Conference.
James is in his sixth season playing for the Lakers and has led them to the NBA playoffs in three of the previous five seasons.
They won the 2020 NBA Championship over the Miami Heat, which was the franchise’s first title since 2010.
Following the Trail Blazers (who they are now 2-0 against), they will host the Houston Rockets on Sunday evening in Los Angeles.
Last year, the Lakers were the seventh seed in the west with a 43-39 record, but they were able to beat the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors in the first two rounds of the NBA playoffs.
