LeBron James couldn’t put an end to the Los Angeles Lakers’ four-year losing streak to the Portland Trail Blazers as the Lakers lost 128-119 at the Moda Center on Friday. The Lakers have now lost their last 16 games to the Trail Blazers.
James was the talking point going into Friday’s game and he showed why, putting up a team-high 26 points to go along with 12 rebounds and 6 assists in a game-high 37 minutes. Unfortunately, his impressive stat line wasn’t enough to get the Lakers a win in their regular season opener and James’ purple and gold debut.
