The Lakers Nation Podcast is back to talk about the current Lakers road trip and their 115-108 loss to the Indiana Pacers. Despite a slow start, Los Angeles made a game of things and very nearly stole a victory on the Pacers home court. We break down how they were able to battle back, and also discuss Jordan Clarkson’s huge highlight-reel ankle-breaker on Aaron Brooks. Lou Williams had a few trick shots of his own for us to discuss, and of course, we hand out the unfortunate Least Valuable Player award, only this time it goes to someone who personally didn’t do anything wrong.

For our Most Valuable Player award, we were able to single out a guy who doesn’t always show up on the box score but makes his presence felt each and every night. Finally, we talk about the difficulties of playing a road back-to-back, and how that may impact tonight’s game against the Atlanta Hawks. All that and more on this edition of the LN Podcast:
