At the beginning of the third quarter, with just seven minutes remaining, the Lakers were down 79-60. The Los Angeles Lakers currently have a record of 29-29 for the season, sitting 2.5 games behind the final playoff position in the Western Conference. James sat out 17 games this season due to a groin injury sustained during a game against the Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day.
“We have a fresh start ahead of us, and this marks the beginning of the second half of the season,” said LeBron to TNT.
