The clash between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Portland Trail Blazers was a thriller. Dunks, solo impressive performances, and even scratches. An almost unexpected moment occurred during the middle of the game as LeBron James found himself inadvertently attacked by a “Wolverine” scratch from Scoot Henderson. While the physicality of the game was understandable, things got heated up as the minutes went on.

The Lakers did emerge victorious with an impressive 134-110 score, but the attention was all on the peculiar incident involving James and Henderson. And fans couldn’t help but draw a comparison to the fictional mutant character “Wolverine”, known for his razor-sharp claws, after that malicious scratch.

While it was D’Angelo Russell, who is rumored for trades, night to shine, LeBron garnished an equal amount of attention.

Fortunately, the scratch wasn’t much of a hindrance to James’ performance, as he continued to dominate the court, alongside an outrageous dunk. Nonetheless, it was one of those “unexpected” moments of the week, leaving fans with something else to debate about.
