The struggles for LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers continue. After suffering a disappointing loss against their LA rivals, the team now got embarrassed by the 11th seeded New Orleans Pelicans.
Turnovers continue to hurt Frank Vogel’s boys. The team collectively committed a humiliating 15 turnovers in the first quarter. In the huge 123-95 loss against NOLA, Bron did manage to fill the stat sheet – 32 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. However, he went on to commit 7 turnovers.
At one point of time in the third quarter, LeBron threw a lousy pass to THT in the corner, sending the ball out of bounds. The crowd at Crypto.Com Arena showed no mercy to their King expressing their frustrations by exploding with boos.

Lakers’ 23 turnovers to Pels’ 15, is one of the huge reasons behind this mammoth loss.

The Lakers have a 27-32 record and are now a total of 3 games behind the #8 LAC. Entering the final 22 games of the season, something for LAL has to change in order for them to turn to their winning ways. If not, then the Lakers are in a tough position to grab a playoffs berth.
