The Los Angeles Lakers had been playing some of their best basketball since switching their starting lineup and inserting Max Christie next to Austin Reaves in the backcourt. The Lakers had won seven of their last nine games going into their two-game Texas road trip, but unfortunately went 0-2 against the Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks.
A competitive road loss to the Rockets was a bit more understandable, but the 21-point loss to the Mavericks without their All-Star duo of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving was can be described as nothing short of disappointing.
But one of the things the Lakers have stressed all season long is never getting too high or low regardless of the results and Christie echoed that point once again after the loss in Dallas.
