As a result of the win, King James traveled to Miami to play his next game on Wednesday. Although Tuesday’s game was against the Miami Heat, the first thing James wanted to do was celebrate his victory. And he did so in a style. Notably, the Lakers‘ current stats aren’t very impressive.
It is important to note that while the current situation in the league compared with other teams is not very good, this win gave the Lakers a chance to celebrate.
