The Los Angeles Lakers have lost six out of their last seven games. Their most recent defeat came against the Toronto Raptors.

According to the Lakers star LeBron James, for whom this was the second game after a six-week break due to an ankle injury, his team has not played its brand of basketball lately.

“Having guys in and out of the lineup, having guys not healthy, being in the lineup or not being in the lineup,” James said postgame. “But at the end of the day we have five guys on the floor. We need to play Laker basketball. We haven’t done that in the last 7 games no matter who’s been on the floor.

“It starts with us. We got a game plan we need to go out and execute it Definitely challenging few weeks for us and something that we will ultimately I think we will figure it out.”
