It was over before it really began for the purple and gold on Monday when LeBron James and Antony Davis were ruled out for the team’s game in Brooklyn. Without their two stars, the Lakers gave a valiant effort in the second half but ultimately lost, 121-104, against the Nets.
L.A. is now 0-2 on this East Coast road trip so far.
Rui Hachimura got his first start in his short stint as a Laker so far tonight and was... fine. He ended the game with 16 points and 4 rebounds.
