The Lakers, who have won for the first time since the death of Kobe Bryant, improved to 37-11 and sit atop the West, while the Kings fell to 18-31. After the game, James talked on the fans showing their support on the road and honoring Bryant:
“We’re prepared for it. We understand it and we hope it happens every night just because of the legacy that he’s left behind. We’re prepared for it as a team, as an organization and we’re going to continue to get through it. It’s our obligation just to go out and play the game, have that winning mentality because that’s what he would want,” James said, per ESPN.
