Wednesday’s games have been excluded from the analysis, and the 10-8 Los Angeles Lakers visited the hapless Detroit Pistons, looking to bounce back from an embarrassing loss at the Philadelphia 76ers. Last Monday, the Lakers were trounced by the Sixers 138-94, playing as 5.5-point road underdogs.
Purple-and-Gold surrendered a whopping 40 fourth-quarter points to the 76ers while scoring just 14 in return. The Lakers forced just seven turnovers on the night and went 7-for-28 from beyond the 3-point line. LeBron James led the Lakers with 18 points and five assists, and Anthony Davis posted a double-double of 17 points and 11 rebounds.
“What needs to change in order for that to not happen again? A lot,” James said
The Lakers have dropped two of their last three contests. They are 25th in the NBA in offensive efficiency (110.6 points per 100 possessions) and tenth in defensive efficiency (112.4). The Lakers rank 28th in the league in 3-point rate (34.3) while making just 33.8 percent of their triples (also 28th).
