LeBron James rued the Los Angeles Lakers lack of consistency following their 118-109 loss to the Phoenix Suns.

The loss left the Lakers 4.5 games out of the 8th playoff spot.

"We wanted to play well. At times we played well. I think we was always together at times as well. Had the right mind frame of what we were trying to accomplish tonight. It's just unfortunate with the opportunity that we had, and we haven't been able to seize that opportunity," said James.

Kyle Kuzma said that he didn't know what exactly was wrong with the team.

"Obviously there's something wrong with this team, and it's up to us to try to fix it, but not really sure right now," said Kuzma.

Josh Hart added that the Lakers have to play together to make a playoff push. 

"We can't not pass someone the ball or not make a rotation or get our heads down when something doesn't go our way. We have to as a unit when adversity starts, we have to come together, and that's something we have to keep working toward. Like I said, we have the talent, we have the ability, we have the leadership to pile up wins and to make a run for the playoffs, but we have to do that as a collective unit."
