In a challenging matchup against the Houston Rockets, the Los Angeles Lakers suffered a significant 135-119 defeat on Monday night, prompting Lakers legend James Worthy to characterize the loss as “embarrassing.”
LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and D’Angelo Russell contributed 23 points each for the Lakers, who were coming off a double-overtime victory against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday, but it wasn’t enough.
In the postgame interview, James faced a question from Dave McMenamin about Dillon Brooks, but it was cut short before the journalist could complete his inquiry.
McMenamin started, “When we were here earlier in the year, we asked you about Brooks, and you said,” only to be interrupted by James with a curt “Next question.”
The Lakers’ defeat against the Rockets and James’ terse reaction to the question add intrigue to the team’s dynamics and the challenges they are currently facing in the competitive NBA season.
