The Los Angeles Lakers have had a very difficult couple of days. Following the tragic accident that claimed the lives of nine people, including Lakers legend Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna, the team has had to do their best to get back on track.
The Lakers had their first game following the incident, scheduled against the LA Clippers, postponed to a later date. Their first game action, against the Portland Trail Blazers, was an emotional night.
The Trail Blazers picked up a victory over the Lakers, as Damian Lillard had a Mamba-Esque performance to lead his team to victory, 127-119.
