The worst quarter in the history of the Los Angeles Lakers franchise was recorded on Sunday night, as they were outclassed by the Portland Trail Blazers before half-time.
The Lakers were looking comfortable heading into the second quarter, as they led by seven points with the score at 33-26. But things quickly changed as they endured a brutal 12 minutes, heading into half-time 46-71 down.
The Trail Blazers took the second quarter 45-13, meaning that the Lakers were outscored by 32 points in the build-up to the break. It set a new record for the worst quarter in their history, but thankfully a huge 37-point game from LeBron James swung the pendulum once again, and the lakers won 121-112 on the night.
