LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers fell victim to Luka Doncic’s magic. Dallas Mavericks bulldozed through Lakers in a 119-115 victory.
LeBron James and Westbrook collectively posted 52 points on the board for the franchise with 23 rebounds and 14 assists. Although the first week of 2023 proved to be fruitful for the Lakers. However, they started their unsatisfactory finishing yet again. The last two games have once again highlighted the points which have allowed to hold a record of 19-23.
The reporter pressed the wrong nerve while asking, “LeBron, this team has been uneven, I would say, like in crunch-time situations. Have you seen any throughlines?”
“You know, I mean, like similar to the Boston game you guys fight back to put yourself in a position to win. Same tonight, it’s happened a couple of times. So, what are you seeing kind of late in your guys execution?”
LeBron James replied, “The one consistent thing that we have is a billion different lineups.” He added while giving a sombre look, “That’s the most consistent. Do you get what I’m saying?”
Will The Lakers and LeBron James qualify for 2022-23 post season?
The Lakers have been down and out the entire 2022-23 NBA season. The opponents have found it easier to score against them in the second half as Lakers have been facing issues in closing games.
LeBron James expressed his frustration on the disputed foul call by referee Suyah Mehta. Even Lakers’ coach Darvin Ham wanted to blame the referee for his call but didn’t, maintaining his dignity towards officials.
“No, it’s a f—ing foul,” LeBron James shouted at that very moment. “It’s a foul. No matter what [Brown] says, it’s a f—ing foul. That s— is blatant, and they should have called it.” When asked if he disagreed with the referees’ decision, he simply said, “Obviously.”
