LeBron James’ poor shooting ended a bad night for the Los Angeles Lakers.

James’ performance wasn’t as expected with a 13-29 field goal percentage, 3-12 from three, and 5-10 from the free-throw line. During his stint with the Lakers on the night, he scored 34 points, racked up seven rebounds, and handed out six assists.

Speaking of his teammate Westbrook, he shot 2-14 from the floor and made 0-5 three-pointers, which resulted in another disappointing scoring performance.

Seeing Westbrook’s performance diminishing with every game makes you wonder about the Lakers’ scoring stage. The trade by which the Lakers got Westbrook didn’t work out as planned, as Westbrook’s scoring performance is declining.

NBA fans trolled the Lakers and particularly LeBron and Westbrook after their poor performance against the Kings. Among the comments were that “You Wanted His Bum A**” and some stated that “Westbrook needs to stop shooting and keep passing.“

Due to the performance that was given by the Lakers and their questionable decision-making during a trade, the Lakers were left with results that are not in their favor.

James mentioned the following in regards to this, “It’s been an up-and-down season, that’s why we’re at .500,” James said. “The third quarter tonight, their tempo was too much for us. We couldn’t handle it.” [h/t wkrg.com]
