There’s a handful of games a year where even though the team wins, you sort of just have to shrug and say “well that was fun, even though I was mostly mad the entire time”. This was one of those games. The Lakers beat the Bulls 103-94 and if that’s all you knew, you’d give […]
Game Recap
Lonzo Ball and Julius Randle lead Lakers to Win Over the Nuggets
After a disappointing loss to the Suns on Friday, the Lakers found the right combination of energy, teamwork, and shot making to beat the Nuggets 127-109. Led by Lonzo Ball’s triple-double and Julius Randle’s big scoring night, the Lakers were able to keep the Nuggets at arm’s length and get one of their best wins […]
Lakers Fall To Rising Stars Embiid and Simmons
The Lakers lost to the Philadelphia 76ers Wednesday night 115 – 109. Sadly, the real losers were anyone emotionally invested in seeing the Lakers make a three point shot. The Lakers shot 11% from deep, going 3 for 27 from beyond the arc. Joel Embiid (46/15/7), who actually can make wide open three point shots, […]
Lakers Close Out Suns Late, Win 100-93
Some games, there really isn’t a lot to say. The Lakers 4th and final game on their road trip, in Phoenix, is one such game. Yes, they won 100-93. And, honestly, saying more than that really isn’t needed. Or, at least, I don’t want to say more. Not when the game was disjointed and sloppy, […]
Lakers Can’t Slow Giannis, Lose to Bucks 98-90
The Lakers started their four game road trip 5-5, but after a 98-90 loss in Milwaukee to the Bucks they’ve now dropped three in a row with Monday’s game in Phoenix serving as their only hope to not go winless on this trip.
Lakers Dig too Deep a hole, Lose 107-96 to the Celtics
So here’s the thing. Those two tweets below pretty much sum up my feelings about this game. The Lakers — and that means the players and the coaches — were average to below average in a lot of ways against the Celtics and that showed up in the 107-96 final score.
Laker Film Room: Lakers Survive Grizzlies Attack, 107-102
The Los Angeles Lakers survived a 4th quarter onslaught on Sunday night, beating the Memphis Grizzlies 107-102. In this installment of Laker Film Room, I take a look at Brandon Ingram’s flurry of drives in the first half, why those opportunities weren’t there in the second half, the Lakers’ stellar defense of the 3-point line, […]
Lakers Hold on to Beat Grizzlies 107-102
It wasn’t a pretty final quarter for the Lakers, but they were able to hold off the Grizzlies 107-102 to move to 5-5 on the season and earn their first back to back wins of the year.
Lakers Bury Pistons 113-93, Get Needed Win
In the best team effort of the season, the Lakers routed the Pistons 113-93 to get their 3rd win of the season. The W moves the team to 3-4 on the year, giving them a nice bounce back from consecutive defeats on Friday and Saturday against the Raptors and the Jazz. In a way, this […]
Lakers Offense Sputters in Utah, 96-81
While I’m not entirely sure that a bad team is capable of having a schedule loss, tonight’s contest against the Utah Jazz certainly felt like one. After falling to the Toronto Raptors in Los Angeles the night before, the Lakers flew to Salt Lake City to take on one of the more disciplined teams in […]
