The Los Angeles Lakers just suffered a heartbreaking 119-117 loss to the Chicago Bulls due to Chicago making three 3-pointers in 10 seconds, including a last-second halfcourt shot from Josh Giddey.
Needless to say, the Lakers are a bit disheartened from the loss. This includes star forward LeBron James, who got candid about the team’s struggles and getting especially critical of their defense in the final quarter.
To make matter more difficult in the future, guard Austin Reaves has been downgraded ahead of Los Angeles’ game against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Reaves has been invaluable for the Lakers, averaging 19.9 points, 5.9 assists, 4.4 total rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game across 65 games.
