Three Takeaways From The Lakers Tough Loss To The Wizards

For three quarters, the Los Angeles Lakers played one of their best games of the season on both ends of the court. Unfortunately, there are four quarters in a game, and the Lakers’ 13 point lead entering the final period evaporated in the blink of an eye as the team was outscored 37-13 in the final period, losing 119-108 to the Washington Wizards.

It was a disappointing defeat considering the Lakers looked like they were in control at the end of the third quarter and played exceedingly well in that period. Those fans rooting for the team to tank were sweating.
