LeBron went on to explain why he decided to play a back-to-back instead of sitting out.
“I could have very easily took tonight off, but I don’t feel like the momentum of our ball club could use me taking a night off tonight,” LeBron said. “I don’t feel like I wanted to sit on that loss to Philly last night, I wanted to get that out of my tastebuds and see if we could win a ballgame tonight.”
During the game, LeBron went viral after it appeared that he looked at a woman sitting courtside who was staring at him.
