Basketball Gods Still Watching | Los Angeles Lakers
On Friday, the Lakers were officially eliminated from playoff contention when they lost to Brooklyn, their fifth straight loss and 10th in 11 March contests to that point. Since then, they’ve played quite well in consecutive entertaining home wins, beating Sacramento 111-106 on Sunday and Washington 124-106 on Tuesday. Sure, the Kings and Wizards had won only a combined eight out of their previous 20 combined games. But L.A., missing their starting backcourt of Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball, had been losing to teams with losing records.
