LeBron James Offers Candid Comments After Lakers’ Loss to Clippers
After the Los Angeles Lakers’ 116-102 loss to the LA Clippers on Sunday evening, LeBron James spoke frankly with the media.
James had a solid individual performance, finishing with 25 points, five rebounds, 11 assists, three steals, and one block in 35 minutes of play, shooting 9-of-20 from the field and 2-of-6 from three-point range.
When asked if he could give himself more room to operate on certain nights, James responded candidly, “Nah. That’s how our team is constructed; we don’t have room for error.”
Further pressed about the mental challenges of playing nearly flawless basketball, he added, “We don’t have a choice. That’s the way our team is constructed… We have to play close to perfect basketball.”
With the defeat, the Lakers dropped to a 22-18 record, holding the sixth seed in the Western Conference. They’re also 8-12 in road games this season.
Despite being in his 22nd season at 40 years old, James continues to perform at an elite level, averaging 23.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 8.9 assists per game, while shooting 51.4% from the field and 40.0% from beyond the arc.
Next, the Lakers will stay in Los Angeles to face Kyle Kuzma and the Washington Wizards on Tuesday.
