The LA Lakers really choked up in the 4th quarter against Golden State Warriors. They gave away easy points, turned over the ball from inbound passes and swung the ball with extra passes to kill the shot clock. Monday night was really tough for the Lakers. Having a lead till the last and blowing it all up is real insult to a team playing LeBron James and Anthony Davis. This not only frustrated the teams but has also put players under tremendous pressure.

The Lakers gave away an easy 11-point lead to the opponents, the Golden State Warriors. Even the Warriors captivated and pounced on every small opportunity they got. The win was real big for the franchise. LeBron seemed frustrated and Davis, he was really pressurized. He said, “We know we’re a good team. We know that teams are going to come out and play their best against us. But the way we lost, we don’t like.” The forward really seemed disappointed as his co-star, LeBron James left the court missing out a buzzer beater.

The 7-game road trip was a real gem of a run for the Lakers. The Lakers came up quite well and improved their defence. Leading the Conference with 11-4 record, they still have a majority chance to make it to the playoffs. So Lakers would really expect the best out of the trendy season that has already showed us so much.

AD said, “Obviously, we have to look back at the film and see where we can be better, but we’ve always bounced back. We don’t like losing two in a row, so in our next game, we’re going to put a lot of pressure on ourselves to win that game… But we’ll watch the film when we get back together and try to figure out how to get better and get ready for Milwaukee,”

Beating most potential teams on the way, Lakers have a sensational record already. The young talents have really paced up but the performance under pressure matters the most.
