LeBron James and Anthony Davis walked off the court with 5 minutes, 39 seconds remaining in the Los Angeles Lakers' Game 5 loss to the Phoenix Suns to get an early start on treatment before Thursday's Game 6 in Los Angeles.

"We got our ass kicked. It's that simple," James said. "We have to be better if we want to force a Game 7. They pretty much just kicked our ass. There's nothing else to say."

James said he is preparing to play without Davis again for Game 6.

"My mindset is that he's not going to be able to play in Game 6, but that's just my mindset," James said. "If something changes, we go from there. It's literally win or go home ... so you shoot all the bullets you got and throw the gun too. I look forward to the environment."
