The Los Angles Lakers finally ended their seven games losing streak against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday, after beating them by 127-101.
The win was a bitter-sweet for them as LeBron James was forced off with an injury, which initially looked serious, but Doctors confirmed it is possible he plays in the next game.
The Los Angeles Lakers were in a good form on the night, as Kyle Kuzma scored 19 points, Ivica Zubac had 18 points and 11 rebounds and LeBron James had 17 points and 13 rebounds, Rajon Rondo had 15 points and 10 assists off the bench, Brandon Ingram scored 14 points, Josh Hart had 12 points and fellow reserve Lance Stephenson finished with 11 points for the Lakers. Andre Iguodala scored a season-high 23 points for Golden State.
In all, the highlight was Lebron James leaving with a groin injury in the third quarter, and the Lakers were still able to win the game, as Golden State Warriors were way off on the night.
Good news for the Lakers fans though, knowing Lebron James, he is already looking forward to the next game, as he feels nothing was damaged, as he avoided serious injury.
In another related issue, Lebron James has apologised on his “Jewish money” post, saying he did not mean to harm anyone saying he usually post lyrics of songs he listens to while driving, saying:
“Apologies, for sure, if I offended anyone,” James said. “That’s not why I chose to share that lyric. I always (post lyrics). That’s what I do. I ride in my car, I listen to great music, and that was the byproduct of it.
“So, I actually thought it was a compliment, and obviously it wasn’t through the lens of a lot of people. My apologies. It definitely was not the intent, obviously, to hurt anybody.”
James said he was quoting the song “ASMR” by the performer 21 Savage when he posted the lyrics, “We been getting that Jewish money. Everything is Kosher,” on his Instagram account, and will not face any fine or ban for his post.
