In what could have been considered a ‘must-win’ game, the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Atlanta Hawks to conclude their six-game road trip, 117-113.
LeBron James finished the game with a triple-double — 28 points, 11 rebounds, and 16 assists. However, James’ performance was not enough and now the Lakers head into the All-Star Weekend one game under .500 and 10th in the Western Conference.
Head coach Luke Walton has been heavily scrutinized throughout the 2018-2019 NBA season as Los Angeles has seen more than their fair share of ups and downs.
