LeBron James was not happy with his teammate Rui Hachimura after the team’s latest game.
On Saturday night, the Lakers took on the Kings at home ahead of their first road trip of the season.
LeBron had a vintage performance when he recorded a triple-double by scoring 32 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists.

During his postgame press conference, LeBron spoke about being in a rhythm during the game.

“Just caught a rhythm, got my outside shot going, got a couple and-ones in the paint as well, got a backdoor from D-Lo that worked well. Just tried to see what I had going and help us get over the hump on this back-to-back.”
LeBron spoke about his team still learning to play with each other early in the season.
“It’s a process still for us, we’re still learning,” LeBron said “We wanna continue to get better and better every night and I think through three games we did that, but it’s gonna be a tough road trip for us coming up. I think it’s 11 days, five games and there’s some tough opponents so it’ll be a test for us.”
