#5 Lakers vs Wizards - 17 December 2018

Just 30 games into the season and with a record of 18-12, the LeBron-led Lakers needed to get a win and make a statement. The 2018-19 season started off much rougher than anyone had expected and many were beginning to doubt the new look Lakers.

The last person you would expect to underperform in a situation like this is LeBron James. James finished the game with 13 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 turnovers. Being someone who has been in many high pressure situations before, no one expected this sort of a performance from James.

James struggled to find his shot the entire game, going just 5-16 from the field and 3-6 from the free throw line. The Lakers' leader did not have energy and looked dejected from the get-go. This lack of energy translated onto the rest of team as the Lakers lost 110-128 to the Wizards, who were led by a 40-point performance from John Wall.

The highest scoring Laker came from the bench in the form of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope who had a team-high 25 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.
