Following a disappointing 130-112 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night, LeBron James (24 points, 10 rebounds) expressed his plan to tune into the NFL playoffs to shift focus away from the Lakers’ struggles.
Despite a strong double-double performance from Anthony Davis (26 points, 12 rebounds) and a solid contribution from James, the Lakers (21-22) faced a collapse in the second half against the Nets (17-24), marking their fourth loss in the last 18 games.
The Lakers, now 7-13 since their NBA In-Season Tournament victory in early December, find themselves in a challenging position, needing to bounce back from recent setbacks.
As an avid football fan, James hinted at his strategy for regaining focus, stating, “Watch NFL playoffs tomorrow. That’s what I will do,” when asked about moving on from the Nets loss and preventing its impact on the upcoming games.
