“Everything went wrong” – LeBron James sounds deflated after blowing 17-point lead against Pacers

LeBron James sounded deflated as he admitted that “everything went wrong” after the Los Angeles Lakers blew a 17-point lead against the Indiana Pacers.

The Los Angeles Lakers went down tragically to the Indiana Pacers on Monday night as the home team gave away a 17-point lead to end the game in a defeat. The Lakers seemed to be up and away with the win at the Crypto.com Arena on Monday night, however, a late surge from the Pacers and the crumbling Lakers dealt a crushing loss to the home side on the night.

The Lakers were in cruise control of the game, winning all three of the first three quarters but they did not know what was about to hit them in the last quarter. Despite controlling the entire game courtesy of Anthony Davis’ tally of 25 points and 13 rebounds and LeBron James’ 21 points, it all fell apart for the Lakers as they lost the last quarter by letting go of a 17-point lead.

The Pacers were jubilant at the end of the game as Andrew Nembhard came up with a buzzer-beater to win the game, and the Lakers were naturally crestfallen having let go of a game that was practically in their grasp. The Lakers failed to make it three wins in a row when they really should have, and their talisman LeBron James was visibly shattered following the defeat.
