Talking after the game, LeBron James praised the new roster addition and revealed what he expects from him.

"He was aggressive from the beginning of the game until the end. We don't want Rui to fit in, we want Rui to fit out," the superstar said after the game. "We don't want him to just come in and be cool because that's what he is - he's super cool, low-key, low-maintenance."

"His ability and what he can bring to our team, we need him to showcase that every night for us. AD said 'be aggressive from the very beginning', and he was that all the way to the very end, finishing off that performance with that block," James highlighted. "It's a great piece to have and we're lucky to have him."

Hachimura made a key block with a minute and 44 seconds left in overtime. Initially ruled goaltending, the call was overturned after an extended review, both annulling Jalen Brunson's basket and giving the ball to the Lakers.

In 4 games with the Lakers, Hachimura has been averaging 13.25 points and 5.75 rebounds per game.
