LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Los Angeles Clippers last night, snapping a four-game losing streak.
After the game, LeBron talked to reporters about the Lakers’ massive win.
“We gotta continue to get better,” LeBron said. “Try to use this to try to catapult a little bit better play from us. But it still doesn’t take away from the fact of how we’ve been playing like the last 11, 12 games. Tonight was a good start. Hopefully, we can start from here and continue to build.”
The Lakers are only 18-19 this season. They are in 10th place in the Western Conference standings, and since winning the In-Season Tournament in Las Vegas, LAL is just 4-10.

“It doesn’t fix everything, obviously,” LeBron said. “But it helps. But we gotta still learn from the wins more than we learn from losses. Because when you lose, you’re able to look at like, ‘OK, this is why we lost, we have to do this better. We have to do this.’ And then when you win, the first human instinct to do is, ‘Ah, we won. OK.’ But, no. We have to learn from the mistakes we had tonight, which we had too many still.”
The Lakers beat the Clippers by a final score of 106-103. LeBron finished with 25 points, eight rebounds and seven assists in 38 minutes while shooting 11-of-19 from the field, 1-of-3 from beyond the arc and 2-of-3 from the free-throw line.
LeBron has appeared in 34 games for the Lakers this season. He’s averaging 25.2 points, 7.3 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.6 blocks while shooting 52.7% overall, 39.7% from 3 and 74.0% from the foul line. LeBron has 10 double-doubles and two triple-doubles.
