LeBron James dropped 33 points along with 8 rebounds and 7 assists but it wasn’t enough for the Lakers as they loss against the Clippers (118-125).

Just like Lakers head coach Darvin Ham, the four-time NBA champion mentioned the long trip to Los Angeles from Salt Lake City after the Jazz game.

“It’s one of the toughest games we had this year,” James said. “Coming off the road trip, and even though this was a road game. Just coming off the road trip and getting back late last night after overtime game. It’s a tough game for us, obviously.

“We started off in the first half not so playing Laker basketball. We had some good spurts but not enough. This is one of those scheduling conflicts in the season and it definitely got the best of us tonight.”
