LeBron James left the Crypto.com Arena without speaking to reporters after the Los Angeles Lakers suffered a 110-96 defeat to Miami Heat.
James, 39, scored a season-low 12 points and only made six of 18 shots, including zero of six three-point attempts, during the home game against his former team. The defeat means the Lakers are now 2-8 over their last ten games since winning the NBA In-Season Tournament in Las Vegas.
With this latest loss, they dip below .500 at 17-18, which is only good enough for 10th in the Western Conference and the final play-in tournament spot. It extends their losing streak to three games after losing to the New Orleans Pelicans and West-leading Minnesota Timberwolves over New Year.
