LOS ANGELES — It’s hard to feel bad for LeBron James. The guy has such a great life sometimes even he can’t believe it, as he’s said on social media.
He was not, however, smiling through Tuesday night’s 133-115 loss to the Clippers.
Even after crossing off the 30th and final team on his to-score-40-points-against list, with 46 points against the Lakers’ Crypto.com Arena co-tenants, James sat on the bench stone-faced and forlorn. Alone with his thoughts, he tuned out the debate a couple of seats away between teammates Russell Westbrook and Dennis Schroder after their momentum-killing turnover that sparked the Clippers’ 8-0 scoring barrage.
