LeBron James Points Out Silver Lining Despite Disappointing Loss to Memphis Grizzlies

The Los Angeles Lakers suffered a big loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. NBA analysts thought that the Lakers are done losing games but things didn’t go the way Frank Vogel and his players planned. LA lost a game and fans really hope that the team will elevate their game. What does LeBron James think of the loss to the Grizzlies?

The four-time NBA champion said it’s “been a lot clearer how we want to play basketball over the last few weeks.” He said pretty much the same a few days ago. The Lakers were in the middle of a winning streak. When asked about it, LeBron said it was just because his teammates were getting back.

Lakers players sustained too many injuries and significant time on the floor. LeBron missed time, too. Anthony Davis is still out. Players were in and out due to COVID. Head coach Frank Vogel was out as well and David Fizdale had to step in as a replacement. The team lost many games during this stretch.

LeBron says it’s “been a lot clearer how we want to play basketball over the last few weeks.” Despite the poor performance tonight, he believes they’ve been playing good basketball.
