The Los Angeles Lakers haven’t had much success on defense in recent years. The team posted its worst defensive efficiency ever last season, allowing 113 points per 100 possessions to rank not only last in franchise history, but last in the league as well.
Third-year forward Larry Nance, Jr. says he and his teammates are focused on changing that.
“We're not going to have the worst defense in the league this year. That's something that I think we're all working on but me especially. We need to fix that,” Nance told Mike Bresnahan of Spectrum Sportsnet.
