LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers cannot seem to catch a break. Losing to the Utah Jazz tonight had the basketball world trolling them mercilessly. The Lakers are 5-12 since winning the In-Season Tournament in December.

The Utah Jazz are not considered one of the better teams in the league. However, that should be no excuse for the Lakers to not compete. With LeBron James out with a left ankle injury, the onus was on Anthony Davis and the rest of the Lakers squad to get the job done. They could not, with the Jazz rounding out a dominating 132-125 win. Lakers fans were not happy with the current state of the team.

Without a formidable big man to counter him, Anthony Davis was supposed to feast on the Jazz tonight. Well, it was not to be. He finished with 15 points, 15 rebounds, 11 assists, and 4 blocks. D’Angelo Russell topped the charts with a formidable 39 points, 3 rebounds, and 8 assists performance. But these productions were not enough.

The Utah Jazz were down after the first quarter. But then they turned the game around and never looked back. Lauri Markkanen, Collin Sexton, and Jordan Clarkson all contributed 20+ points each. The Jazz are 6-1 this month, beating formidable teams along the way. Their only loss came against the league-leading Boston Celtics.
