The Los Angeles Lakers’ newfound chemistry with Luka Doncic at the helm has been undeniable, but not everything is smooth sailing. During their matchup against the Houston Rockets, LeBron James was visibly frustrated with Dorian Finney-Smith for refusing to pass him the ball—twice. The tension didn’t go unnoticed, with courtside sources confirming the moment added an awkward energy to the Lakers’ bench.
This comes at a time when LeBron has openly praised Doncic’s leadership, even subtly reflecting on his own past teams. On the latest episode of Mind The Game, James highlighted how elite players elevate their teammates, indirectly contrasting his former squads with the confidence Doncic instills in LA.
With just seven games left before the playoffs, the Lakers can’t afford internal friction. As JJ Redick has already emphasized, LeBron, Doncic, and Austin Reaves must stay locked in because the margin for error is razor thin.
