The nightmarish road trip ended for the Lakers against the Magic in Orlando. And the result was pretty much the same as most of their games as Orlando thumped the Lakers, 109-90. The Lakers couldn’t get anything going at the start as they missed their first 10 shots. Orlando got off to a 10-0 start […]
Lakers Fall Short Against Cavaliers in a Shootout
The Lakers were on a back-to-back and they drew the reigning, defending NBA champions at the tail end. As expected, the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Lakers, 119-108. But the final score doesn’t tell the story of the whole game. In fact, this was one of the better performances they’ve had this season, even though they […]
Lakers Snap Eight-Game Skid and Never Trail In Win Against Sixers
The national nightmare is over! Okay, not really a national nightmare but the Lakers finally win a game for the first time in the month of December. The Lakers beat the lowly Sixers, 100-89. L.A. got off to a 13-0 start and never lost the lead. It’s not a pretty game by any means but […]
Lakers Shoot Badly Against Nets and Extend Losing Streak to Eight
This wasn’t exactly the most watchable basketball game. Whether it was or not, it didn’t really matter to the Lakers as they lost for the eighth straight time, 107-97. The ball movement was very lacking in the first half. Not only that but the second quarter proved disastrous to the Lakers. They went 4 for […]
Lakers Get Demolished By Rockets and Lose Fourth Straight Game
This game couldn’t be over quick enough. The Lakers got smashed in their game against Houston. The final score? 134-95. I haven’t seen them get messed up like this since… well, okay, Friday. But this was just a massacre. The downfall could be traced all the way back to the first quarter (which really has […]
Lakers Fell Short Against the Grizzlies in Fourth Game in Five Nights
Well, the Lakers fell short in a tale of two halves. The Grizzlies were able to trip up the Lakers in a game that ended in a wacky manner, 103-100. Memphis was depleted as they were without Zach Randolph, Mike Conley, Chandler Parsons, Vince Carter, and James Ennis. The Lakers, who were playing their fourth […]
Lakers Score Season-Low 80 Points in Blowout Loss Against Toronto
So this is one game you want to throw in the trash. The Raptors worked the Lakers, 113-80. The 80 points are a season-low for this young team. All you needed to do was watch the first half. The Lakers were down, 15-4, at one point. They did cut it down to six by the […]
Lakers Go Back to .500 After Ugly Win Over Bulls
The Lakers got punched in the face by the New Orleans Pelicans last night. Not only that but they also lost Nick Young (for 2-4 weeks so it’s not as bad as we thought it was going to be). They already didn’t have D’Angelo Russell. But somehow, the Lakers pulled this one out against Chicago […]
Lakers Get Blown Out by the Warriors for the Second Straight Time
For the third time this season, the Lakers and the Warriors played against each other. Unfortunately, this contest was way more like their meeting two days ago than the one early this month as the Warriors clobbered the Lakers, 109-85. The Lakers were missing players once again. We know D’Angelo Russell was out but so […]
Undermanned Lakers Get Destroyed by the Warriors in Oracle
To keep up with the Western Conference champions, the Lakers needed to bring their A+ game. And without D’Angelo Russell and Julius Randle, it was going to be a monumental task. Yeah, they had beaten the Warriors before but a lot went right for the Lakers in their first encounter against them at Staples Center. […]
