In making the Lakers win and leading them forward, LeBron James took the high road
Memphis’ record of 28-14 extends their winning streak in this season. Even though Steven Adams and Xavier Tillman are out of the league due to the NBA’s health and safety program, the team has not let that affect their game as they look to improve with every match.
In response to the game on Twitter, people started sharing hilarious reactions about James and how he held the team together and worked diligently to make the stand and win the game. Since they are getting pressed by great teams like Memphis, the Lakers’ record raises questions among the audience, especially regarding their last performance, since they are considered one of the best in the NBA.

It can be difficult for LeBron to make sure the team is performing to its best. Through a conversation he had after the game against the Atlanta Hawks, where the Lakers pulled off a tremendous performance, he explained how he feels about the Sunday game and the Memphis side.
“It’s big in the sense we want to continue to play good basketball,” James said. “And that is a team that is playing great basketball, and they’re above us in the standings. I feel like we had a win slip away last time we were in Memphis, but we want to continue to just play good basketball. We have that opportunity to do it Sunday against a very good team.”
