On Tuesday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers lost their second straight game by 16 points when they fell 138-122 to Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks (in Georgia).

The Lakers were unable to stop Young, who had 26 points and 13 assists while shooting 6/9 from the three-point range, and they were outscored in every single quarter.

In addition, they shot just 14/25 from the free-throw line (56.0%). 

LeBron James has played a combined 73 minutes over the previous two nights, and he finished Tuesday's loss with 20 points, nine rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one block while shooting 7/17 from the field and 2/6 from the three-point range. 

After the game, the four-time NBA Champion sent out a post on X with just one emoji.  

It's unclear what his post means, but there were over 16,000 likes and one million impressions in 40 minutes.  

James wrote: "⌛️"

At 39, James still remains one of the most exciting (and best) players in the entire NBA.

He was recently named to his 20th straight NBA All-Star Game and is averaging 24.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 1.3 steals per contest while shooting 52.0% from the field and 39.7% from the three-point range in 44 games. 

The Lakers are 24-25 in 49 games, which has them as the ninth seed in the Western Conference.

They are 4.0 games behind the Phoenix Suns for the sixth seed. 

Following Atlanta, the Lakers will visit Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics on Thursday evening.
