Fresh off of getting consecutive wins for the first time in over a month, the Lakers ran into the buzzsaw that was the Utah Jazz’s defense on Friday night.
Mustering only 95 points on 35.9 percent shooting from the field, and 18.5 percent from three, Los Angeles’ offense obviously — and expectedly — skidded on the road against the second best defense in the league in a 113-95 loss.
The team's struggles to generate points over this recent stretch without LeBron James continues to be the biggest culprit for their six losses over the last nine games.
