For the second consecutive instance during their four-game homestand, Los Angeles Lakers head coach Luke Walton saw his team get off to a slow start.
One day after the Lakers trailed by as many as 15 points to the Dallas Mavericks, they found themselves down 17 in the first quarter against the Phoenix Suns.
While the Lakers eventually won both games and are on a three-game winning streak, they do not want to make it a habit of always playing from behind. For Walton, there is a deeper issue he is most concerned with following the 120-96 win.
