Fans Roast LeBron James for Forcing 10-Point Streak in Lakers’ Blowout Loss

The Los Angeles Lakers entered Monday’s matchup exhausted on the second night of a back-to-back — and the Phoenix Suns wasted no time exposing it. Despite losing Devin Booker early to a groin injury, Phoenix torched L.A. in a 125–108 rout, capitalizing on flat execution and sluggish defense from the Lakers.

By the fourth quarter, the only storyline left was whether LeBron James would extend his historic double-figure scoring streak. And fans were locked in — for all the wrong reasons.

🔥 LeBron Struggled… Until the Streak Was in Danger

Through three quarters, LeBron posted an unusually quiet line:

• 6 points
• 2/7 FG
• Nearly invisible impact

Meanwhile, Dillon Brooks and Collin Gillespie were on absolute heaters, burying the Lakers under a wave of threes and transition buckets. With Phoenix up big and momentum long gone, many expected JJ Redick to shut down LeBron’s night early.

But the streak changed everything.

James stayed in the game to start the fourth, got to the free-throw line, split a pair, and later drilled a step-back three over Gillespie — officially securing at least 10 points for the 1,296th straight game. Moments later, he checked out.

😂 Fans Erupt at LeBron Padding the Streak

The reactions came in fast — and they were ruthless.

“LeBron so disgusting doesn’t even care about winning just not losing that 10-point streak.” – @7Crimson0

“Down 25 and went back in to get 10 🤣 the stat king for real.” – @_InChris_iTrust

“He’s gon’ get his 10 no matter what lol.” – @BayAreaLeek

“The streak only ends if he gets hurt or fouls out early.” – @UTDNizer

“He realized he was about to lose the streak and flipped the switch.” – @243_GOAT

Love him or hate him, the streak has clearly become part of LeBron’s mythology — and Monday night proved he’s not letting it slip away without a fight.

🟣 What’s Next for the Lakers?

After a discouraging showing on both ends, the Lakers turn the page toward Thursday’s matchup with the Toronto Raptors, hoping to recover from a night where fatigue, poor defense, and cold shooting collided all at once.

LeBron got his streak — but the Lakers will be looking for a lot more than that moving forward.
