LeBron James on message to Cam Reddish after missed game-winner: ‘Be ready again’

Against the Miami Heat, down by one with 8.9 seconds left, the Lakers had possession and inbounded the ball to LeBron James at the top of the key. James drove the ball on Jimmy Butler, and as the defense collapsed on him, he kicked it out to a wide-open Cam Reddish in the corner.

Reddish missed the shot as Austin Reaves desperately tried to reach the ball for a tip-in or putback but couldn’t get anywhere near as time expired.

The Lakers clawed back from 13 but fall in Miami, 108-107, with Cam Reddish’s potential game winner not falling at the buzzer.
