Following the game, James met with the media (the whole clip can be watched via Spectrum SportsNet).

Reporter: “First time with their big three healthy, what kind of challenges do they present from the jump?”

James: “Oh, I mean, it’s obvious when you have three, three-level scorers on the floor at the same time. It creates so many disadvantages for your defense and always has you on your toes. They’re gonna be a really good team once they continue to mesh. But those three guys are obviously exceptional.”

Reporter: “For you, 24 minutes played, obviously didn’t play there in the fourth, but if you’d have to go all the way back to 2018 when you last scored just ten points. How are you feeling physically right now?”

James: “Uh, I feel okay.”
