James: When I break through with the ball or have the ball in my hands, I can still attract a lot of defensive attention.

The Lakers defeated the Jazz 140-125. After the game, James, who returned from the game, accepted interviews with the media.

Talking about his assist performance, James said: "When I break through with the ball or have the ball in my hand, I can still attract a lot of defensive attention. We have a big man inside, my guy Gabe (Vincent) is here, and obviously Jack, our second team, we expanded the lead after coming on the court."

In this campaign, James made 4 of 7 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, scored 11 points and 3 rebounds, and sent out a team-high 12 assists.
