What LeBron James said about Lakers NBA loss to the Suns
In what many expected to be an easy game for LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, the team faced a disappointing defeat against the Suns, marking their first loss of the NBA regular season under new head coach JJ Redick.
The Lakers had been undefeated and were considered one of the top teams, alongside the Thunder. However, mistakes during the game prevented them from winning, leaving players feeling frustrated in the locker room. Coach Redick was clearly upset, and the players took time to think about what went wrong.
LeBron James, usually a key player, struggled in this game and only scored 11 points. After the match, he spoke to the media and mentioned that he had been feeling unwell, with symptoms affecting his performance since Friday. According to Jovan Buha from The Athletic, LeBron sounded congested and was sniffling during his postgame interview.
Reflecting on the defeat, LeBron said, “The way we lost is something you just can’t do in this league. Each week and each game will define what kind of team we want to be.” He stressed the importance of bouncing back, saying, “We can’t let this loss snowball into something bigger. We’re still getting to know our system and each other on the floor, and we need to make sure this doesn’t happen again.”
LeBron also reassured fans that while the loss was tough, the season is long, and the team still has a chance to show their potential for a championship.
Coach JJ Redick was very active on the sidelines and showed his frustration with the team’s performance. He was particularly upset when missed chances allowed the Suns to catch up.
