After the Los Angeles Lakers' 115-103 loss to the struggling Detroit Pistons on Monday night, fans were disappointed to see LeBron James and the team lose a game after a strong 3-0 start to the season.

The Lakers fell to 4-3 this season while the Pistons improved to 3-5. Before their win, the Pistons were 0-3 at home, but were strong against the Lakers, outscoring them 67-53 in the first half.

James finished the night with 20 points, eight rebounds and 11 assists while shooting 7 of 16 from the field in the loss. Anthony Davis exploded with 37 points, eight rebounds and nine assists.

Lakers fans were disappointed with the 39-year-old's performance as he finished the game with a plus-minus of -16.

On the other side of the court, Cade Cunnigham scored 17 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists while Jaden Ivey contributed 26 points.

After losing three of its last four games, Los Angeles is now under some pressure following an impressive start under first-year head coach JJ Redick.

With concerns over AD's health and how long he can last while averaging 35.8 minutes per game, as well as the lack of a consistent third option behind Davis and James, fans are beginning to wonder about the fate of the season to ensure.
