The Lakers made it a close game but a slow start was too much to overcome.
The Los Angeles Lakers made a fourth-quarter push but fell short against the Indiana Pacers in a 107-103 loss. A three-pointer from Kobe Bryant with 12 seconds remaining made it a one-point game, but the Lakers couldn't complete what would have been a surprising comeback. What started off as a slow game turned into a surge from the purple and gold as they tried to snap their longest losing streak of the season, but outscoring Indiana 38-27 in the final frame wasn't enough to redeem an otherwise ugly game.
