The Lakers rebounded from 6-5 wins after James switched to starting centers, especially the longest 4-game winning streak of the season. It was only the Lakers who then suffered a wave of 3 consecutive losses, losing to the Grizzlies, Kings and Nuggets 3 Western teams in succession, especially in the face of the remnants of the Nuggets with a 37-point gap, creating the largest tragedy in lakers history against the Nuggets, and also the second largest loss point difference for the team where James was in his career.
