LeBron James said that the Los Angeles Lakers lacked a sense of urgency following their 128-115 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.

"How many know what's at stake if you've never been there?...it's kind of a fine line when you talk about that, because when you've never been there or know what it takes to actually shoot for something like that, sometimes you're afraid to get uncomfortable," said James following the loss.

The Pelicans rested Anthony Davis in the game.

James added that the Lakers need to get out of their comfort zone as they chase a playoff spot. 

"So you got to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. So I'm not saying that's what we are as a whole. It kind of looks that way at times, that sometimes we're afraid to be uncomfortable and kind of get out of our comfort zone and kind of, you know, have that sense of urgency from the jump, and not be afraid to actually go out and fail to succeed. So, I mean we have, what? Twenty-three games left. We'll see what happens."
