For all their free-throw woes this season, the Los Angeles Lakers seemingly hit rock bottom on Friday. By making just two of 14 attempts, their 14.3 percent set a single-game record for worst in NBA history. Jordan Clarkson equated it to a “virus or something.”
He was responsible for each of the Lakers’ makes, en route to scoring a season-high 33 points. Lakers head coach Luke Walton and several of the players have discussed free-throw shooting ad nauseam this season.
“Good for us,” Larry Nance Jr. quipped at shootaround when informed the team set a record in their win over the Indiana Pacers.
