The Los Angeles Lakers received an inspired effort from Quinn Cook, Dwight Howard and their bench as a whole but fell short to the Indiana Pacers, 116-111, extending their losing streak to three games.
The Pacers got off to a hot start by driving to the rim and getting shots in the paint to grab an early 10-4 lead. The Lakers battled back by stringing together a few successful defensive possessions and crashing the offensive glass to go on a 9-0 run.
TJ Warren began to heat up from the field, knocking down shots in the restricted area and from beyond the arc to give Indiana a double-digit lead.
