PORTLAND -- With heightened attention on Luke Walton following his tense meeting with Magic Johnson, LeBron James said the coaching staff put the Los Angeles Lakers "in a position" to score perhaps their biggest victory of the season thus far.
ESPN reported Friday that Johnson had chided Walton in a meeting earlier this week. The Lakers responded by holding on for a 114-110 win in Portland and snapping a 16-game losing streak to the Trail Blazers on Saturday.
"I mean, it's great to win, period," James said when asked about winning amid the drama surrounding Walton.
