The Los Angeles Lakers opened the week with an impressive win over the Miami Heat on Sunday, but those great feelings came crashing down when they lost two consecutive games against sub-par teams. The Lakers lost two games despite holding double-digit one to the Detroit Pistons and another to the Washington Wizards.
The team did bounce back by beating the Minnesota Timberwolves, but it seems as though some change will occur in Los Angeles. With the NBA trading deadline approaching, let’s get caught up with the news of the week.
