The Lakers made a valiant comeback effort (actually two) in their Christmas Day loss to the Brooklyn Nets. First, the team came back from a 17-point deficit to take a lead in the third quarter, only to then go down by 23 points in the early stages of fourth, but still climb all the way back to tie it before being unable to close it out in the final minute.
Russell Westbrook had one of his worst shooting games of the season in the loss, going 4-20 from the field, with many of those misses being of the “smoked layup” variety.
