There have been few consistencies with the Lakers this season, whether it comes to playstyle, performance or even players available on a game-to-game basis. However, one of the few things the Lakers have been reliable for is dramatic losses.
Whether it was a blowout with a kerfuffle against the Suns, either of the inexplicable losses to the Thunder, a complete no-show against the Blazers or, on Friday, a debilitating second half leading to a Timberwolves rout, the Lakers tend to lose rather loudly.
Friday’s loss, though, may have been a breaking point for Anthony Davis.
