The bad from the Los Angeles Lakers’ loss:

This team can’t shoot free throws at all!

The Los Angeles Lakers are 29th in the NBA in free-throw shooting and they continued to struggle with a 15 foot shot with no hands in their face.

The Lake Show finished 22-33. LeBron missed critical free throws with 2.4 seconds left. Nuff said!

The Los Angeles Lakers allowed a 19-year-old Jonathan Kuminga to smoke them like a pack of Kools! 

The Splash Brothers were going to get their points in the first half as Stephen Curry matched LeBron’s totals with 17 points and Klay Thompson had 10.

But what got lost in the Lakers scouting report was Jonathan Kuminga who was killing the Lakers scoring 16 points on 7-8 shooting! It wasn’t the fact that he was scoring, but how he was scoring. He dominated them.

The only that stopped this guy was foul trouble!
