The Los Angeles Lakers finally snapped their four-game losing streak following a win against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
It was none other than LeBron James who led the team from the front after dropping a 40-point performance against the Thunder.
The Lakers may have snapped their four-game losing streak, but things aren’t about to get easier for the Purple and Gold.
After all, they are all set to face off against the Boston Celtics on NBA Christmas Day.
Ahead of the much-anticipated matchup, LeBron James is focused on spending Christmas with his family, as revealed via Legion Hoops on Twitter.
“The only thing I care bout Monday is my daughter waking up and opening her gifts,” James said.

In an era where a plethora of NBA players find themselves on the hotseat due to their controversies off the court, LeBron James has done a great job of setting a great example of how to be a family man.
James always keeps his family as his number one priority regardless of being the face of the NBA and having an extremely hectic schedule throughout the year.
Keeping that in mind, it’s no surprise that James is focused on spending Christmas with his daughter rather than facing the Boston Celtics.
Either way, the matchup has all the ingredients to be a nail-biting game between the two most successful NBA franchises in the history of the league.
The Celtics will certainly enter the game as the favorites to win the game as they hold the first seed in the Eastern Conference with a 22-6 record.
On the other hand, the Lakers are the ninth seed in the West with a 16-14 record.
