Eight minutes into the worst loss in franchise history, Lakers forward Brandon Ingram had already missed a reverse layup, airballed a three-pointer, thrown a bad pass for a turnover and had a short floating jumper swatted out of bounds by Mavericks reserve center Salah Mejri.
The rookie was just getting warmed up. Two days after playing perhaps his best game of the season — 15 points, seven rebounds, three steals and superb defense against Indiana on Friday night — Ingram delivered a dud on Sunday, scoring six points on two-for-12 shooting, committing five fouls and three turnovers.
