This year Los Angeles has turned the ball over more than any other team in the Association. While this is to be expected from a young team who is running a new offense with a new coach, it’s not what is expected from a playoff team.
This year the Lakers are averaging 16 turnovers per game. If they can learn to take care of the ball it can result in more shots which will give their explosive offense more opportunities to put the ball in the hoop.
Of course, it’s easier said than done, but many of their turnovers are easily avoidable and it’s these give aways that need to be eliminated completely.
