The Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday, their 16th road loss in 18 tries. The team's -15.3 net rating on the road ranks worst in the league, 3.2 points per 100 possessions worse than the 29th ranked Milwaukee Bucks, while their road game field goal percentage of 41.5% is merely third worst. All things being equal, on would assume that a team with these low marks would rank relatively low on the priority list for road fans to see when they came to town.
All things are not equal though.
