The\u00a0Los Angeles Lakers\u00a0beat the\u00a0Toronto Raptors\u00a0on Thursday,\u00a0123-120. Despite an off night from\u00a0LeBron James, the Lakers held on and secured their 16th win of the 2025-26\u00a0NBA\u00a0season. James\u2019 streak of scoring 10+ points ended against the Raptors, as he finished with just eight points.<\/p>\n

James\u2019 scoring streak ended at 1,297 games. On the final play, he had the chance to keep it alive to give the Lakers the win. However, he passed to a better shot, finding forward\u00a0Rui Hachimura in the corner for three. It was a last-second decision from the four-time champion.<\/p>\n

Although\u00a0fans appreciated\u00a0James\u2019 strong IQ, former Fox Sports analyst Skip Bayless had strong words online.<\/p>\n

\"Los<\/figure>\n

After the game, Bayless went on X (formerly Twitter) and didn\u2019t hold back with his criticism of James.<\/p>\n

\u201cLEBRICK JAMES: Finally held under 10 after again and again barely surviving. At Toronto, he went 4-17 and 0-5 WITHOUT LUKA. Undrafted Austin Reaves: 44! Lakers win in spite of the \u2018King.’\u201d Bayless posted.<\/p>\n

LEBRICK JAMES: Finally held under 10 after again and again barely surviving. At Toronto, he went 4-17 and 0-5 WITHOUT LUKA. Undrafted Austin Reaves: 44! Lakers win in spite of the \u201cKing.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Despite his offensive struggles, James helped the team in other areas. He grabbed six rebounds and dished out 11 assists for the Lakers. In the scoring department, it was undrafted guard Austin Reaves who took over LA, with his 44-point outing.<\/p>\n

Bayless\u2019 most recent criticism of James isn\u2019t something new, as he has always been vocal about it.<\/p>\n

Back in November, the media personality\u00a0accused\u00a0the four-time MVP of jealousy toward his co-star,\u00a0Luka Doncic. The five-time All-Star received MVP chants from the crowd at\u00a0Crypto.com\u00a0Arena on Nov. 25 against the\u00a0Utah Jazz. The fans in the arena cheered for Doncic after his 43-point performance led the Lakers to a 135-118 win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
