LA Lakers: Frank Vogel Playing LeBron “As Little As Possible”

The Lakers notched their most recent victory on Sunday against the Atlanta Hawks which was more of a challenge than they expected. The Lakers are on a five-game road trip, with the Hawks being the third team on the list.

For his part against the Hawks, James went over his usual playing time, logging 37 minutes of play. The three-time NBA champion torched the Hawks as he finished with a game-high of 32 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists, a steal, and 3 blocks.

James will need a good amount of rest as their next two games are very competitive ones, the next being against the Indiana Pacers, and the game after that being the most challenging. The Milwaukee Bucks will be the last game on their road trip before returning back to Staples Center.
