LeBron James and the Lakers are still looking for redemption from Saturday's controversial loss to the Celtics after James — and Anthony Davis — sat out Monday's game against the Nets.
James last played on Saturday when he went off for 41 points, nine rebounds and eight assists in Boston, but a no-call on a potential game-winning drive to the basket overshadowed the outcome as the Celtics went on to win in overtime.
James expressed his displeasure with the no-call, both in the moment and after the game, and the National Basketball Referees Association even issued an apology for the crew's mistake on the game-altering play.
James and the Lakers will look to bounce back against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, where his pursuit of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's all-time scoring record continues.
James is currently 117 points away from passing Abdul-Jabbar as the league's all-time leading scorer, meaning he is roughly four games away at his current scoring average of 30.2 points per game.
