Ever since the Los Angeles Lakers had maybe their most impressive victory of the season against the Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day, things haven’t stopped nosediving for the team.
What was supposed to be a joyous holiday triumph ended on a sour note when LeBron James injured his groin, starting a massive snowballing of frustration crashing towards Los Angeles. Injuries to Rajon Rondo and Kyle Kuzma soon followed, piling on to an already bruised team.
The Lakers arguably hit rock bottom with their latest 119-112 loss to a lowly Knicks’ club who strolled into Staples Center on an eight-game losing streak on their backs.
