After a 2-4 record in preseason, the Los Angeles Lakers seem to have found their groove in the regular season. With a 131-127 win against the Sacramento Kings, LeBron James and his team celebrated their third consecutive victory, looking strong on the court.
Despite the win, a moment of frustration occurred during the game when LeBron expressed his anger toward teammate Rui Hachimura. The incident happened after LeBron grabbed a defensive rebound and was ready to kickstart another Lakers possession. But Hachimura took a contested two-point shot that missed.
LeBron was frustrated, wanting the ball to keep the momentum going. During the timeout, LeBron was caught on a hot mic expressing his thoughts with some strong language.
“Bring that mother**** to me. I just made 10 in a row—you gon’ take a pull-up contested two… swing, swing, mother*****!” James said.
Despite the heated moment, LeBron kept his composure on the court, finishing the game with 32 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists. Hachimura contributed with 18 points, nine rebounds, and three assists.
