The Los Angeles Lakers slumped back to the 11th seed after a loss to the New York Knicks, and NBA Twitter had a field day mocking them. The Lakers had just put together a three-game win streak and had leapt up to the 9th seed before this loss. The New York Knicks are on fire in the NBA, winning 10 of their last 13 games. The Knicks also broke their three-game losing streak in the process.
The Lakers were one game away from achieving a .500 record for the first time this season, and the Knicks denied them. Lakers fans were quite confident about LA’s resurgence, but it was short-lived. Fans on Twitter trolled Lakers fans for their optimism and were celebrating the ‘Lakers downfall.’
The team has yet to make the playoffs after going 5-0, and the Lakers are close to doing so but are ruining their chances. Here are some of the best reactions from NBA Twitter:
The Los Angeles Lakers lost despite a valiant effort from D’Angelo Russell, who scored 33 points shooting six three-pointers. Anthony Davis was the only Laker with over 15 points at 17. The Laker’s loss is a huge mental block for them as they still do not have a positive record, and getting to .500 would have been a monkey off their shoulder. The Lakers will wait for LeBron James to return to propel them toward success.

The King was walking without a limp as he entered the crypto.com arena and could be nearing a comeback.
LeBron was listed as out for three weeks on March 3rd, and he could be back within a week after all. The Lakers will need as much help as they can get during the last stretch of the season to make the playoffs. A single loss to the Knicks took them from 9th to 11th, so they know the importance of a winning streak. Anthony D
LeBron James has been the best player for the Lakers this season, averaging 29 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists in his 20th season. The King picked up his foot injury in a gruelling 28-point comeback win against the Dallas Mavericks. The Lakers are 4-3 since LeBron’s injury and have maintained their place in the play-in spots. However, LeBron James would hope the Lakers can make it to a 7/8 seed by his return to set themselves up nicely for the playoffs.
