The Los Angeles Lakers continue to struggle, despite LeBron James’ recent impressive performance. The team lost 134-93 to the Miami Heat on Wednesday night, with James contributing 29 points, eight assists, and five rebounds. However, his teammate Anthony Davis struggled, scoring just eight points.
James passed Kyle Korver on the all-time made threes list, moving into seventh place. Tyler Herro led the way for the Heat with 31 points, while Jimmy Butler added 17 points and nine boards. The Lakers have now lost six of their last eight games, improving to 12-10 on the season. Miami improved to 10-10.
Lakers head coach J.J. Redick expressed frustration after the game, saying “I’m embarrassed. We’re all embarrassed.” He plans to take proactive steps to fix the team’s struggles, including reviewing his own performance and that of his players.
James had previously struggled with shooting woes, but his bounce-back effort has raised hopes for a stronger finish to the season. However, the Lakers’ overall performance remains concerning, with a 41-point loss suggesting that the coaching staff still needs to identify a solution.
