LeBron James admits that the emotions got the best of the Lakers, leading to 2nd consecutive loss

Lakers stars Anthony Davis and LeBron James came forward for the post-game interview after their loss against the Suns. LeBron reflected upon the loss and admitted that the emotions overruled their better judgment and impeded on securing a win.

“We got to do a better job of not allowing calls that we feel like should have went our way stop us from what our goal is on the floor. There were some very very difficult calls that we felt like should’ve went our way. But we allowed that to comeback 3-4-5 possession in a row, and we started to lose control of the game,” James admitted.
