After several rough games, LeBron James bounced back with one of his better outings in recent weeks on Friday.

The All-Star forward hopes to carry the momentum into Sunday's matchup with Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Cavaliers (29-21) have won three of their last four despite some inconsistency from their star player. James came into Friday's game against Miami averaging 16.8 points on 39.4 percent shooting in his last four games - almost 10 points below his season scoring average.

James has been struggling at the free-throw line, shooting 51.7 percent in February to see his season average dip below 70 percent. He was 4-of-8 from the line on Friday, but was much more successful from the field, shooting 12-of-22 and finishing with 29 points in Cleveland's 103-79 victory over the Heat.
