LeBron James and the Lakers had their season come to an Monday with their Game 4 loss to Nikola Jokić and the Nuggets, who are now off to the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history.
James had a monster first half, scoring 31 points, but then cooled off in the second half with just nine points and failed in his attempt to tie the game in the final seconds.
Following the game James spoke about his NBA future, saying he has some big decisions to make this summer.
He also heaped some impressive praise on Jokić and the Nuggets:
“Probably the best team that we’ve played since we’ve been together for our four years.”
