The NBA's official Instagram posted photos of the winners from the league's Sunday slate of games and fans took notice of the picture they chose for LeBron James. The superstar doesn't look like he's celebrating a November win. He looks more like he would after a tough loss in the Finals.

The camera probably just caught James at an inopportune time, but we shouldn't overlook his stat line. James led the way for the Lakers and was able to do a little bit of everything on the court. He did miss two crucial free throws in the waning seconds of the game, but he redeemed himself with a putback dunk.
There is something concerning about James' inability to hit clutch free throws early in his Lakers career. That being said, it's still November and these are not the games that Lakers fans will remember at the end of the season. James knows he's shooting poorly right now, but he has time to work through those issues.
The Lakers are stabilizing after a slow start and the early reports of doom and gloom are fading away. There's still a long way for the Lakers to go, but they are starting to look like a playoff team once again.
Contrary to what his facial expression might suggest, the Los Angeles Lakers are starting to turn the corner and play much better basketball. There are still issues for Luke Walton to deal with, but the team is finally starting to turn it around.
