Prior to the game, there seemed to be an overall sentiment that James would be welcomed warmly back to the city he brought a championship to in 2016, but it is good to see just how warmly he was received.
At the moment the game is quite close, with the 2-13 Cavs holding their own against James and the 9-7 Lakers.
Considering the standing ovation, it seems many fans in the crowd will be happy by night’s end regardless of whether the Cavs get the win or not.
