Through eight games of the 2018-19 NBA season, LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers have found themselves in close games except for one, when they pulled away and dominated the Phoenix Suns on the road.
As all five losses thus far have been by 10 points or less, there is naturally frustration about their inability to close out games.
For someone like James who has experienced all the highs and lows in his career, he understands the process Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, Kyle Kuzma and Lonzo Ball will have to go through in this stage of their respective careers.
