With an increase in minutes, James had by far his best performance of the preseason – although the Lakers ultimately lost 132-74 to the Golden State Warriors.

He began the game shooting 4-for-20 from the field and collected six rebounds and four blocks in the first five preseason games while averaging 12.4 minutes per game.

“It’s going great,” James told the Spectrum SportsNet Lakers reporter Mike Trudell about his first preseason. “I love every second of it. It’s my dream to be here.”

James mentioned that he is still adjusting to his new surroundings and what his pregame routine will be when the regular season begins Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
