LA Lakers superstar talked about carrying momentum from team practice to preseason

The four-time MVP is expected to play alongside Anthony Davis in the preseason game against the Phoenix Suns. James highlighted the importance and benefit of carrying over the progress made in practice to the preseason, as per Associated Press' Greg Beacham.
"I think we want to carry over with what we did today at practice," James said. "I think we were very intent on what we want to accomplish going forward. I think [Friday] was one of those first games. It's been a while since a lot of guys have played in a game setting, and it looked that way."
