This wasn't the first time his colleagues had pulled this prank, but James remained unfazed, powering through the interruption with his usual professionalism.

With the win, the Lakers set up a rematch against the Pelicans in the 7 vs. 8 play-in tournament game on Tuesday. LeBron acknowledged the challenge ahead, saying:
"These games are going to be extremely hard, extremely physical. I am looking at this as a two-game playoff series. They have multiple days to sit on that feeling and sit with that taste in their mouth of the loss. They will be ready for us, and we have to come in with the same sense of urgency."
Despite the Lakers' regular-season success against the Pelicans, James remained focused on the task at hand, recognizing the need for adjustments in the high-stakes play-in game.
