Lakers hoping mind matters in solving FT woes

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- After a historically bad night from the free-throw line Friday, Los Angeles Lakers coach Luke Walton is hoping some meditation might help clear his players' minds.

The Lakers were a hideous 2 of 14 from the line in their 99-86 win over the New Orleans Pacers. That 14.3 percentage was the lowest by any team in NBA history (minimum 10 attempts), according to Elias Sports Bureau.

"Man, that free-throw line, it's like a virus or something," said guard Jordan Clarkson, the only Laker to make free throws Friday.

The Lakers are by far the worst team in the NBA in free-throw shooting, with their 68.
