The Los Angeles Lakers suffered one of their worse defeats of the Luka Doncic era in a 111-108 road loss to the lottery pick-bound Brooklyn Nets on Monday night.
Doncic put up a triple-double (22 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists) and the Lakers jumped out to a 15-point lead in the first half, but Los Angeles couldn’t contain a feisty Nets squad that clawed their way back into the game. The Lakers were without four of their regular rotation players including star LeBron James, who’s expected to miss one to two weeks with a groin injury.
