LeBron James and his Los Angeles Lakers handed Charlotte Hornets their 9th win of the season in excruciating manner. Having equalized a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter itself, the 4-time NBA MVP and Champion lost his show in arguably the most clutch moment of the game on Friday.
While LeBron James laid low on the floor, he managed to pass the ball to Dennis Schroder, standing in the perfect place to knock a 3-pointer, potentially to give LA Lakers the lead by 1. However, the German international failed to bank that in. Take a look at the video below.
LeBron James might’ve lost his show but he was the most dominant player in the 4th quarter, having scored 18 of his 34 points of the night in just those 12 minutes. While Anthony Davis has been ruled out for indefinite timeline, Bron once again found himself without any help in the clutch moments.
LeBron James losses his show in crunch time for Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers were playing in front of their home crowd, who saw their team play miserably to fall behind in the third quarter. Looking to catch up in the last 12 minutes, the likes of Austin Reaves, Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley all knocked down clutch shots, yet it all went in vain for the 2020 NBA Champs once again.
While the 37-year-old veteran is showing all signs of winning and making the playoffs, his team as a combined unit are failing to fire.
With this loss Los Angeles Lakers are now 13-19 and out of the play-in tournament spot if the regular season were to end today. They will now finish the year with four straight games away from Crypto.com Arena, next up for them is a Christmas delight featuring Luka Doncic vs LeBron James going head-to-head.
