When LeBron James is in the mix, it's never too late, right?
Lakers fans will tell you as much. The 38-year-old has taken no time in dusting himself off and getting back into the thick of things alongside the spellbinding Austin Reaves and Anthony Davis.
But at this stage of the season, results are what matter. When the Lakers saw a three-game winning streak halted in a disappointing defeat to the Chicago Bulls, they shot themselves in the foot.
They must have forgotten that the Pelicans, Thunder, and Dallas Mavericks were breathing down their neck, otherwise, they might never have let Nikola Vucevic have that much time on the ball.
