Every game matters in the NBA, and the Lakers believe they were cheated out of a win on the road in Miami. The Lakers recently reached out to the league concerning how LeBron James was officiated at the end of the game. The Lakers believe they have evidence that LeBron should have been sent to the free throw line multiple times in the fourth, but did not get the foul called. Their motive must be to prevent this from happening in the future, as the NBA is highly unlikely to change anything about the outcome of the game.
LeBron is still defeating Father Time for the moment, as the 38-year forward is leading the Lakers in scoring with 25.3 PPG. LeBron is averaging 8.4 RPG and 5.9 APG, while playing nearly 36 minutes a night. Both James and Anthony Davis have not missed a game yet, Davis is scoring 23.9 PPG and leading the team in rebounding with 12.0 per game. DeAngelo Russell runs the point for the La kers, scoring 17.3 PPG and leading the team with 6.4 APG. Austin Reeves is scoring 14.0 PPG from the wing.
Taureen Prince has been the fifth starter when healthy, he is an excellent defender at the forward position, and is the top shooter on the team averaging 2.0 made threes per game. In the games that Prince missed, Cam Reddish stepped in to fill the other starting spot. Christian Wood was brought in to boost the second team's front line, he is averaging 8.9 PPG early in the season. The Lakers currently rank 12th in offensive efficiency and 14th in defensive efficiency according to dunksandthrees.com. The Lakers do not play a fast style of basketball, their tempo ranks 23rd based on their pace of play.
