LeBron James Turns In A Rare Dud In Blowout Defeat To The Wizards

It took three quarters for LeBron James to reach double figures on Sunday night. The Los Angeles Lakers trailed the Wizards by 24 at that point of the game. King James sat out the fourth quarter,and watched the Wizards smashing his teammates.

John Wall scored season-high 40 points, 14 assists and had a brilliant performance against the Wizards. LeBron, on the other hand, had his worst regular season scoring performance in his professional career.

“We’re a team built on energy and depth, and we didn’t have either tonight,” LeBron said.

He shot just 5-for-16 from the field and missed his three-point attempts and half of his six free throw attempts. LeBron had more turnovers than assists on a game when the team turned the ball over 22 times.

“It’s just routine. Just your whole routine is always a little messed up with back-to-back games, with the way we got in, it’s the NBA schedule. I don’t think we’re the only team that will have a back-to-back like this. You just try to find a way.Obviously tonight, we didn’t have our way,” LeBron said.

“I think we did a good job of making it difficult on James, showing him a lot of bodies, active hands,” guard Bradley Beal said.

“Give a lot of credit to Jeff. Jeff did a great job. It was one game. We know he is how he is. Just gotta tip your hat for us, making him make tough shots and make plays tonight,” guard John Wall said.

The Wizards took advantage of the game. They forced 22 turnovers and Wall had great numbers. He scored 40 points and offered 14 assists. LeBron dominated the court, but the Wizards found a way to shut him down. Well, that’s how basketball works. Things change overnight. Better luck next time.
