In a Christmas Day clash, the Los Angeles Lakers (16-15) faced a setback, succumbing to the Boston Celtics (23-6) with a score of 126-115.
LeBron James, who delivered a notable performance with 16 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists in 37 minutes, shared insights on what distinguishes the Lakers from the NBA’s top teams.
“I think the league’s best team so far is Minnesota, they’re pretty much healthy. OKC, pretty much healthy besides [Josh] Giddey. And Boston, they’re fully healthy,” James stated.
“I don’t think we’re healthy right now. I don’t think we’re where we want to be to compete versus the top teams, and we need to continue to get better, continue to work on our habits.
“For us, we’re still trying to figure out our situation as far as how we want to continue to approach each game. We’ll be better.”
