November 19th - In an NBA regular season game, the Lakers defeated the Jazz 140-125. After the game, LeBron James was interviewed and asked how he would cope with the lack of games in the next few days.
James said, "The whole team has a day off tomorrow, but I'll do some rehab in the morning to stay in shape and complete a lot of recovery training. We'll have one practice each on Thursday and Friday, and maybe one more before boarding the plane on Saturday. We'll do what we need to maintain our shape, but we won't overtrain to avoid overexertion. I want to keep going and see what happens. But having three or four days of rest between games is very unusual, and we'll make good use of those three or four days." In this game, James played 29 minutes, shooting 4-for-7 from the field and 2-for-3 from three-point range, scoring 11 points, 3 rebounds, 12 assists, and 1 steal.
