The bad from the Los Angeles Lakers’ win:

The Los Angeles Lakers have to be one of the worst third-quarter teams in the NBA.

Good luck trying to dispute this claim without exposing yourself to not paying attention to the games. The Lakers have been notorious for falling asleep after the halftime entertainment. This game was no different. The Lakers allowed the Rockets to close the lead to 11 points before waking up and extending the lead back to a comfortable margin.

This team is near the bottom of the league in field goal percentage allowed, points allowed, offensive rebounds and this is just to start.

As Stu Lantz stated during the Lakers broadcast, the Lakers don’t want to garner a reputation of being the team that always gives up leads.

Malik Monk.

0-6 shooting for the game while missing all of his shots from distance. Lik’ Lik’ had better get it together before Avery Bradley take up all of his minutes.
