Though the Lakers are quite satisfied with their games, and the way they are progressing further might seem smooth for now but the fact is not to be forgotten that the stats say it otherwise.

Obviously that is always been like a part of mine objective, i guess are part of who i am as a basketball player to be able to take on matchups, that helps on ball club and you know we were extremely balanced offensively tonight. You know obviously pushing Melo off the bench but league has been amazing since he’s been back from the protocol and been in the starting lineup.”
Further talking of Avery Bradley who was also amazing at the offensive end and how his play-making helped him, LeBron said, “You know Avery was great with his shooting ability also his back cuts, spectacular from offensive end so it gave me an opportunity to you know it was some of the corners i was doing i was still able to focus more on the defensive side and to take the challenge that i was able to do later in the game.”
The Lakers are moving at a good pace right now considering the games after the Christmas Day celebrations. LeBron has been averaging 28.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game this season that is among one of the best in the league.
