The Los Angeles Lakers were defeated by the Brooklyn Nets, 104-102.
It was an even start to the game as both teams were able to get the looks they wanted, but the Lakers took the early advantage thanks to LeBron James. Avery Bradley also continued his hot shooting from the last game, scoring eight quick points to force a Nets timeout.
The Lakers bench was able to maintain the momentum as Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Kyle Kuzma got going from the field and helped extend the team’s lead.
