NBA 2018-19: 3 Positives that Lakers can draw from the loss against Magic

#1 LeBron James scored 22 points

Lebron James

LeBron James began where he left off against Portland. He had 44 points and nearly had a triple-double to his name against the game against Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday.

He had a hot shooting hand yesterday too, scoring 22 points with 4 rebounds and dishing out 7 assists. He played only three quarters and was forced to sit out the fourth one as they never cut the lead below double digits. LeBron is in a great form right now but needs the support of his teammates on both the ends of the floor, especially defence.

LeBon's statement post-game:

"After the first quarter, we were pretty bad defensively. We had a lot of breakdowns, uncharacteristic of us as of late."

Lakers will face Miami today, where LeBron will meet his old friend Dwayne Wade. It should be an easy contest for them, but after this loss against Magic, we can't say anything.
