The Los Angeles Lakers are facing significant challenges as they contend with fatigue and inconsistent play, having recently lost three straight games, including a disappointing defeat to the Orlando Magic. Even with all rotation players back, fatigue seems to plague the team, with JJ Redick highlighting that the players might be worn out due to a demanding schedule. Poor performance in crucial moments of games was evident, with the Lakers failing to maintain momentum. Upcoming matchups against the Indiana Pacers and Chicago Bulls pose further challenges for the weary team.
I think a couple of guys... we just look tired. I don't know what contributes to that. That happens periodically throughout a season where the group gets tired.
The Lakers were leading 60-58 to start the third quarter and came out flat, getting outscored 34-18 in the period.
If players on the Lakers already had tired legs... then that's just the tough breaks they must work through.
When you add a lack of continuity... you get a perfect cocktail for failure.
