Playing without LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Lakers shoot 42.5% from the field (7 for 33 from 3-point range) and give up 58 points in the paint in a 126-113 loss that was already out of hand…
TORONTO — First, the fans had their say.
It was understandable given that the Lakers were missing their two biggest stars, while a third, Russell Westbrook, continues to come off the bench. But dropping to 10-14 and remaining in 13th place in the Western Conference doesn’t exactly match the impression of ascendancy that the Lakers have been trying to give lately.
But individual stats had little value in a game in which the Lakers shot 42.5% from the field and gave up 58 points in the paint, including 24 second-chance points. Adding injury to insult: In the fourth quarter, forward Juan Toscano-Anderson, who was playing for just the fourth time in the past 11 games, twisted his right ankle and had to be carried off the court. Health is another critical area where the Lakers are going in the wrong direction.
