The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
