The Lakers faced significant challenges in their recent game against the Nets, culminating in a 111-108 loss. With four key players sidelined due to injuries, the team appeared physically and mentally disengaged. Players Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic struggled to find their rhythm, leading to inefficient shooting and reliance on their bench. Despite contributions from Gabe Vincent and Dalton Knecht, the Lakers failed to capitalize on their offensive possessions, especially in free throw opportunities compared to Brooklyn. Overall, the Lakers' performance highlighted their need for improvement in crucial moments going forward.
If it wasn't one thing, it was the other, the Lakers losing 111-108... playing without four of their regular rotation players because of injury.
Luka Doncic, the engine the Lakers will need... missed shots and looked toward the refs for whistles that never came.
Brooklyn shot five more threes and 11 more free throws, the Lakers attempting only two in the first half.
The Lakers were never good enough executing on either end.
