On the courts this Sunday evening, the Lakers once again fell in a game against the Hawks. If we add to that the bad update concerning LeBron James, fans may be worried about the rest of the events. It smells less and less good.
Without LeBron James, victim of a more serious knee problem than expected, the Lakers were on the court this Sunday evening. The adversary? Atlanta, which is looking to move up in the Eastern Conference in order to grab the playoffs. A very difficult opposition, which ended in defeat for Frank Vogel’s men.
The balance sheet of the Lakers continues to dive!
129-121 is the final score in favor of the Hawks, well helped by 36 points from Trae Young, very clutch in the final. The Angelinos will have regrets, because they raced in the lead for a long time, before conceding a 38-20 in the last quarter: a fatal run.

For the Lakers, the record has just plunged to 24 wins for 27 losses. The most worrying finally is that the franchise is no longer virtually in the playoffs, since it has just passed 9th in the West. Without LeBron who is not about to return, fans can logically be worried about the future.
A very worrying result, despite a good Anthony Davis (27 points), but no one can really tell the difference in this roster: the deadline is likely to be hectic.
The Lakers are still plunging, and this loss is very embarrassing for Frank Vogel’s men, who had victory in their sights for a while. The crisis continues without LeBron James, and it’s far from over.
