The Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> had a professional approach. The Lakers came in and got the job done – it doesn’t matter who they are playing. On Monday, LeBron James tied the wins record for the playoffs and regular season against the Washington Wizards<\/a>. He has another triple-double, his third of the season and 125th overall in his career. James is 41 years old, and he had a triple-double, which shows how hard he works to get to where he is now.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told myself when I turned 40, I wanted to do something that was maybe uncomfortable or that I had never done in my life before,\u201d King James told reporters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Luke Kennard scored 19 points and drained shots with exceptional accuracy again.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Bigs were what they were, 13 for 13 from the floor,\u201d James said. \u201cThey had 14 rebounds, five blocks, and one for one from the three.\u201d<\/p>\n

“I mean, it\u2019s pretty cool to know that I\u2019m at this point in my career and I\u2019m still able to do those things,” James said. “It\u2019s super dope, it\u2019s super humbling, and just to put the work in and continue to put the work in, and those are the results of it.”<\/p>\n

Head coach JJ Redick said, Jaxson Hayes is the best on the team in terms of verticality and being the low man. Hayes watched lots of film, making sure he was reading and learning where he had to be at the right times.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I get an open one, I\u2019m going to definitely shoot it,\u201d Hayes said in the post-game press conference. \u201cI can\u2019t just work on dunking all day, so I got to work on some things.\u201d<\/p>\n

LeBron James reacts to Bronny and Bryce’s success<\/p>\n

James reacted to both of his sons’ successes at once, with Bronny James’ G-League team securing the number one seed on Saturday, while Bryce’s team Arizona Wildcats, advanced to the Final Four. James had Bryce\u2019s game on the iPad sitting on the table, and his wife had Bryce\u2019s game on the TV. They were watching both at the same time. James was watching Bronny go off and also seeing Bryce celebrate with his teammates.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy boy\u2019s first year in college, he\u2019s going to the final four, and Bronny doing what he’s doing, continue to get better,\u201d James said.<\/p>\n

“I mean, listen, we’re a winning family, and that\u2019s all we’ve ever done,” James said. “And it doesn’t even mean in sports, I mean in life. We’re winning family. So all this other s**t is just extra credit, and we’re super appreciative of it.”<\/p>\n

Off the court, James is locked in on golf.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love the sport, I appreciate the sport, I love how difficult it is, and I love a challenge,\u201d he said. \u201cIn Orlando, we beat the s**t out of the coaches.<\/p>\n

“I never played golf in my life before, never followed the sport really… But right now, I\u2019m having a hell of a time playing it.”<\/p>\n

The Lakers are set to face their next opponent Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a>, on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“I can speak up to now: we\u2019re in a good place right now,” James said. “We’ve got to carry that for the rest of the regular season.”<\/p>\n
