Follow usLeBron James expressed his delight after a superb performance against the Oklahoma Thunder, which saw the 38-year-old notch a season-best 40 points.
It was instrumental in Lakers win over Oklahoma as they ended a 4-game skid. That bodes well for the highly anticipated Celtics-Lakers game on Monday, but LeBron said he wasn’t too bothered about that.
“All I care about is tomorrow’s day off,” James said. “I can give a damn about Monday. The only thing I care about Monday right now is my daughter waking up and opening up her gifts. That’s it. Please don’t even talk to me about Christmas Day right now. Christmas Eve is what I’m looking forward to.”
The Lakers go into Monday’s game against Boston with a record of 16-14, while their opponents are tied with the Minnesota Timberwolves with an NBA-best 22–6 record.
