“LeBron James terms his performance against the Sacramento Kings as horrible”: The superstar’s 30 point double-double included seven turnovers and 15.4% shooting from the 3-point line

As the LA Lakers slip below a winning percentage of .500, LeBron James takes the blame, mentioning his seven turnovers.

In what many believed, the Lakers would coast in the game against the Sacramento Kings. The game would go down till the wire, having three overtimes. However, the Kings would emerge victorious at the Staples Center 141-137. The Lakers Big 3 combined for a futile 82-points.

The young core of the Kings outmatched the veteran powerhouse of the Lakers. Though King James put up a 30-point double-double, he was highly inefficient from the 3-point line and had seven turnovers. The four-time NBA champion was a dismal 2-for-13 from beyond the arc.

The contest between the Lakers and Kings saw 19 ties and 23 lead changes. The Sacramento team that recently fired their head coach Luke Walton didn’t have Harrison Barnes, Maurice Harkless, and Richaun Holmes in their lineup.

In all his 19 seasons in the league, James has been able to carry his team to the finishing line. However, his 36-year old shoulders are finally taking a toll. Though there is no doubt that he can ball, the King needs help from other counterparts, especially in Davis and Westbrook.
