Gregg Popovich Gives Blunt Answer When Asked About LeBron’s Takeover

The Los Angeles Lakers won the game against the San Antonio Spurs, and Gregg Popovich was far from happy. The Spurs went through a horrible 129-102 defeat, and LeBron destroyed them with his three-pointers. He scored five three-pointers in three minutes.

After the game, reporters asked Popovich about his opinion on LeBron’s incredible performance. He didn’t really like the question, and the reporter understood it perfectly.

The superstar smashed the Spurs on Wednesday. He finished the game with 36 points on 12-of-20 shooting and recorded six 3-pointers, seven rebounds, nine assists, a steal, and two turnovers in his 34 minutes on the floor. LeBron gave the Lakers an incredible fourth-quarter. His team outscored the Spurs 42-28 in the final frame. LeBron’s five three-pointers in three minutes did the talking.

LeBron made Gregg Popovich moody

Popovich wasn’t in a good mode, and his tone was probably sour as a result of the unexpected loss. He should have expected this. The Lakers have already defeated his guys. This particular question wasn’t that bad, and Popovich overreacted. Well, almost every NBA player would have said similar things. Popovich had high standards, and this question didn’t really fit in his book of criteria.

The Spurs survived back-to-back losses. This was their fifth loss in the last seven games. It’s a nightmare for a team like this. Popovich hoped to see his team in the playoffs. But these losses are probably killing his postseason aspirations. The Spurs sit three games outside the playoff picture.

The coach and his players are in the middle of a long road trip. They opened the trip with two straight losses. The Portland Trail Blazers are next on their list. Hopefully, Popovich will find a way to help his team win more games.

LeBron and his team are on the top. The Lakers own the Western Conference with a 38-11 record. If San Antonio makes the playoffs, Popovich and his team will see the Lakers in the first round. This would be their biggest fear. Let’s see what happens in the next month. The Lakers look really great on the charts. They are contenders. Game on, LA!
