It can be difficult for LeBron to make sure the team is performing to its best. Through a conversation he had after the game against the Atlanta Hawks, where the Lakers pulled off a tremendous performance, he explained how he feels about the Sunday game and the Memphis side.

“It’s big in the sense we want to continue to play good basketball,” James said. “And that is a team that is playing great basketball, and they’re above us in the standings. I feel like we had a win slip away last time we were in Memphis, but we want to continue to just play good basketball. We have that opportunity to do it Sunday against a very good team.”
