“We're just focused on what we can control”: LeBron James insists Los Angeles Lakers not concerned about seeding after win vs Philadelphia 76ers

The Los Angeles Lakers legendary forward LeBron James has stated that his team is focused on winning as many games as possible and are not worried about the seeding.

The Lakers registered an important win against the Philadelphia 76ers with a score of 101-94 at the crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Friday.

Despite that win, the Lakers remain in the ninth position in the Western Conference with 38 wins and 32 defeats. On the other hand, the Sixers remain in the eighth position in the Eastern Conference with 38 wins and 32 defeats.

Four teams that finish outside the top-six will take part in the NBA Play-in tournament before the start of the playoffs.

James was quoted after the match where he stated that the team’s focus is not seeding but instead, the players are eager to ensure as many wins as possible.

“At the end of the day, we're not really focused on seeding,” said James. “We're just focused on what we can control. We can't control the seedings if other teams are playing too well still. What you can control is go out and play and try to win as many games as you can and see where you land.”

James himself had a pretty good game where he ended up registering 20 points to go with eight rebounds and six assists. The star of the show for the winning team on the night was Anthony Davis who registered 23 points to go with 19 rebounds and four assists.
