There wasn’t panic after the game among the Lakers, who are +310 to win it all at BetMGM. James and Davis were cool-tempered. They lost the first game of the Portland series in the opening round and then went on to win the next four. They’re confident that matters can be cleaned up. With only a day in between games, they’ll have to hurry to find some solutions for Game 2. “[One day off has] been very challenging, just like everything else has been challenging here,” James said. “And it is what it is. There’s no excuses. Obviously the body takes a toll, but I get right to work right after the game. Win, lose or draw, I started my treatment already in the locker and when I get back to the hotel, I’ll do some more. I’ll be up pretty late tonight and hopefully I can get some rest tomorrow during the day after our session. But I just start to prepare for Game 2.”
