Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James’ frustration was clearly evident during the fourth quarter of the team’s 112-97 loss to the Houston Rockets on Friday night.

James ‘ire was directed at the Lakers’ lineup as they attempted to come back from a six-point deficit after three quarters. Instead, the Lakers were outscored 27-18 and lost the opening game of the Western Conference semifinals.

Space issues in connection with having Rajon Rondo on the court were apparently the reason for James’ anger, with Rondo playing more minutes due to Alex Caruso’s foul problems.

James has often been a vocal presence on the court during his 17 NBA seasons, which has visibly included his teammates berating that they fail to produce at a high level.

That approach has proven to be a success for James, whose previous teams reached the NBA Finals nine times and captured NBA titles three times. After leading his teams to those three championships, James was named Most Valuable Player of the NBA Finals each time.

The Lakers will attempt to even the Western Conference semifinal series on Sunday night in Game 2, which is scheduled for 8:30 pm EST.
