As Heat guard Tyler Herro went nuclear smashing seven 3 pointers in third quarter of 134-93 win against Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday.

James who is oldest player in NBA and will turn 40 on Dec 30 said patience even while saying “It sucks for sure to get your ass whooped like that twice in  a row”.

Davis aimed for turnaround to start when Lakers finish four match trip Friday against an Atlanta Hawks team riding a five matches winning streak.

“just got to find a method to be honest” Davis said

“Find a way in Atlanta to get the dub”.

“We are having trouble right now on both ends with like base level game plan stuff”

Redick said after Lakers lost for sixth time in past eight matches “Its odd it is very odd”.

Odder is how a team that was 10-4 two weeks before with chance to make it 11-4 if only hit some late free throws against the Orlando Magic is in free fall lossing those six matches by average of 21.8 points.

Redick added

“there has to be some ownership on court and I shall take all ownership in world. This is my team and I lead it and  I m embarrassed. But I can not physically get us organized.

I can not physically be into basketball, I can not physically talk and call out and physically call out coverages. And by the way I m not blaming players. Its not I own this but going to nee d some ownership on court as well. There is not a sense from me that we are together right now”.

Redick said “Has to be some ownership” “You can splinter and Its easy to not want ownership when it is embarrassing. I m embarrassed we are all embarrassed . Its not a game that I thought we had the right flight the right professionalism.

LeBron James bounced back from slump to score 29 points on 12 for 18 shooting including 1 of 4 from 3 point range to break a streak of 20 straight missed 3 s. He did not quibble with Reddick remarks.

“I agree with everything JJ said “James said making it obvious he would not come off unaligned with first year coach” Whatever he said I agree 100 percent 1000 percent”.

James did however absolve Redick in his role in Wednesday debacle adding “Its not on coaches It definitely on us for sure”.

Anthony Davis who not long before was considered early season MVP candidate volunteered for Lions share of blame after scoring season low eight points on 3 for 14 shooting.

Davis had set his season low with 12 points Monday going 4 for 14 from field in 29 point loss against Minnesota.

Lakers guard Gabe Vincent had nine points and three steals off bench but part of Lakers second unit was outscored 51-28 by Miami reserves

He characterized his team mood upset.

Vincent  said

“I think we are far off from where we want to be and where we expect to be this time of the year”.

Magic Johnson was around for lot of losses by Los Angeles Lakers

In 2008 they fell by 39 points when Boston Celtics get the NBA Finals in Game 6.

In 1985 Johnson was part of Lakers team that lost by 34 to Celtics in Game 1 of 1985 finals.

The Lakers are four years removed from James leading them to title in Orlando bubble season.

They has struggled to regain that form

They were swept in Western Conference finals by Denver Nuggets in 2023. At 12-10 season they appear headed toward appearance in Play In Tournament.

Lakers great LeBron James was upset with that play

“It sucks for sure to get you a whooped like that twice in a row for sure” James said.

The Cleveland Cavaliers saw their season opening winning streak hit a baker dozen Wednesday night.

Mitchell play down the stretch he was beating himself up after game for passing out of wide open dunk late in contest tried to chase his first triple double he said he apologized to his teammates for and which he followed up by hitting couple of 3 pointers to officially put the pesky 76ers away.

Mitchell his coaches and teammates were able to laugh about moment it came with stretch fro the All Star guard and night resulted in the Cavaliers keeping hold of their unbeaten start.

Mitchell said with a sheepish smile “Its been eight years. I mean if there is any indication was passing up a wide open dunk. That’s out of character it’s not me. That’s why i did not get it. You do not get rewarded for not being yourself”.

“It was a selfish moment We all have those moments but i apologize to Cav fans to my teammates. that’s not me. And that’s why I did not get it because I go do something selfish. It was not selfless like I have been preaching myself”/

“We are just sticking together” said Darius Garland who led Cleveland with 25 points.

“Just taking it game by game. We know we have got a target on our back, so we have got to come in with that aggressiveness and that confidence that we are going to win every game and that what we have been doing. Even though like I said long nights not a lot of sleep, but we have got to stay together and just continue just to be great. That what we are trying to do”.

“The fact that we are 13-0 is great. We could be 9-2. It does not matter to me. I think the biggest thing is how do we continue to build the habits through getting every team best shot on night by night basis”

“It was a selfish moment We all have those moments but I apologize to Cav fans to my teammates Thats not me. And that why i did not get it because i go do something selfish. It was not selfless like I have been preaching myself”.

Mitchell his coaches and his teammates were all able to smile about moment, it came with stretch for All Star guard and night resulted in Cavaliers keeping hold their unbeaten start.

It was not clear would happen as Cleveland struggled against undermanned 76ers team which is 2-10 on season and sits in 14th place in Eastern Conference.

Philadelphia opened the match against Cleveland couple big me, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen with fortnite featuring 6 foot 7 Guerschon Yabusele at center and 6-10 rookie Adem Bona backing him up.

76ers managed to hang around thanks to another stellar game from rookie guard Jared McCain who score career high 34 point most by rookie this season.

“We had honest talk at halftime” Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson said.

“We show more clips they just were not feeling us They were running where they want to We had no ball pressure. Our energy was low our physicality was not great and these guys they are winning group and they turned it up again”
