King James gets out of the way as Murray glides to the rim. There is a 0:23
The Los Angeles Lakers have lost four straight games to start a season for the first time in nearly two decades, and that's where King James wants to change.
James committed eight turnovers in the L.A.'s loss to the Denver Nuggets. I wasn't aggressive enough when I came off a lot of screens.
The adjustment will begin in the Lakers' next game, at the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to James, who finished with 19 points on 8-for-21 shooting, nine assists and seven rebound.
James said that it was an easy fix for him. I will be better on Friday with that. Over and over, I've done it. It is an easy fix. I don't worry about that.
There are many other issues that the Lakers need to address. Through four games, they are the worst 3-point shooting team in league history with at least 100 attempts.
"Well, I think we were shooting 20%, and today we shot 26%," Lakers guard Patrick Beverley said. We got better.
The L.A. was outrebounded by a large margin. It was almost doubled in fast break scoring. It was controlled in second chance points.
The Lakers played their first game of the season without point guard Russell Westbrook, who sat because of a leftham. James cautioned against a hasty comeback, despite Darvin Ham not ruling out the Wolves game.
James said thatRuss was dealing with a leg injury. "We played together." You have to be cool with all that. It's not possible to force it until that thing is ready to go. You need to be very aware of that.
Anthony Davis said he'll be fine after playing through pain in his lower back. That could be used by the Lakers.
"We're four games in, it sucks to lose, but there's plenty of time for us to right the ship, and it starts now." Yesterday is when it begins.
