That shot was a contested LeBron stepback three — a distance from which he as 2-of-11 shooting at that point on Christmas Day, and from an area on the floor LeBron is shooting 28.6 percent for the season. This was not a great shot choice, but that was moot because Patrick Beverley blocked it, it went out off LeBron (after a replay), and the Clippers won 111-106. There are multiple reasons the Lakers lost this game (start with Kawhi Leonard's 35, he was a force), but there's one critical area that's concerning heading into the trade deadline, and potentially in the playoffs: The Lakers' crunch-time offense is not good.
