LeBron James' message to Boston would trigger their rival ahead of the Christmas Day game

Following their four-game losing streak, the Los Angeles Lakers had on Saturday night a win to snap the streak against the OKC Thunder, but their next stop is their Christmas Day game against their biggest rival, the Boston Celtics.

LeBron James heated the game with his recent statement about the game, by sending a message, that the Lakers star just doesn't care about the Boston Celtics as he suggested in the post-game interview on Saturday night.

LeBron on facing the Celtics: "I can give a damn about Monday. The only thing I care bout Monday is my daughter waking up and opening her gifts."

James said the new lineup's ability to "clean glass" was one of the most important advantages the team had to get the win over the Thunder, and will have to do more of that against the Celtics.
