On Wednesday night, the Los Angeles Lakers suffered an embarrassing 134-93 loss to the Miami Heat in Florida.

The only bright spot was that LeBron James ended his slump, finishing with 29 points, five rebounds, eight assists and one steal while shooting 12/18 from the field.

After the game, he made candid comments while meeting with the media (h/t Spectrum SportsNet).

James: “I think the communication isn’t as good as it needs to be. There are too many great teams out here, and any time you make a mistake, especially with us, the teams are going to make you pay… We had terrible communication, and they made us pay.

The Lakers have now lost their last two games by a total of 70 points.

James also added, “It definitely sucks to get your ass to cry like that twice in a row, for sure.”

With a record of 12-10 in their first 22 games, they are the ninth seed in the Western Conference.

After a hot start to the 2024-25 season, the Lakers have shown significant vulnerabilities in recent weeks.

The Lakers have one more game left on their road trip when they visit Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks on Friday at State Farm Arena.

They have only won 5-7 in 12 away games in Los Angeles.
