In this episode of the Lakers Nation Podcast we break down the Lakers’ 119-115 loss to the Phoenix Suns, which marks their fifth defeat in a row. We dive into where things went wrong for the Lakers, including a discussion of their defensive struggles to contain quick guards like Eric Bledsoe and Brandon Knight.
It’s not all negative, though. Despite the loss, Larry Nance Jr. and Lou Williams turned in absolutely stellar performances, playing some of their best basketball of the year. We take a look at why Nance is so underrated, as well as how unprecedented Williams’ scoring spree has been.
