With two starters in Anthony Davis and Dennis Schroder missing — along with the wear and tear of a championship run followed by a historically short offseason — the Los Angeles Lakers look like they need a shot in the arm to get back on track.
The Lakers dropped their fourth consecutive game after getting blown out by a Utah Jazz team that could not miss from beyond the arc. Even with the caveat of not having Davis and Schroder, the way L.A. has lost games has been concerning.
Generally speaking, there is not much they can do other than simply play better.
