LeBron James made it clear that the Los Angeles Lakers have a lot of work to do before they can consider themselves on the level of the Boston Celtics.

Needless to say, the Lakers will face a huge challenge when they host the defending NBA champion Celtics on Thursday.

The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Washington Wizards in LA on Tuesday night in a blowout win, 111-88. As such, the Lakers moved to 23-18 on the year, and it marked the halfway point for LeBron James and company. Anthony Davis led the way with 29 points and 16 rebounds as James added a 21-point, 13-assist, 10-rebound triple-double in the victory.

Another game, another record for the one and only LeBron James, who had quite a night for the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday.

The Los Angeles Lakers are set to take on the lowly Washington Wizards in what will be their second-to-last home game before they embark on a six-game road trip. The Lakers will look for their 23rd win of the season and their 15th in front of their home crowd.
