Los Angeles defeat to Brooklyn Nets with a terrible performance in shooting by Luka Doncic
A tough defeat for Los Angeles Lakers against the Brooklyn Nets with a score of 111-108 in the first game without LeBron James after his injury against the Boston Celtics. Luka Doncic had the second worst shooting performance of his career with only 25% accuracy, making just 8 of the 26 attempts.
He finished the game with 22 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists. Austin Reaves also struggled with shooting, ending with 17 points and 3 of 14. Dalton Knecht only made 3 of his 9 attempted three-pointers. Despite Gabe Vincent's accuracy (24 points and 6 of 9 on threes) and Jordan Goodwin's contributions off the bench (17 points and 5 of 6 on threes), it wasn't enough.
Jordi Fernández's Nets overcame a terrible first quarter, scoring only 16 points, but dominated the Lakers' defense in the remaining quarters, scoring over 30 points each. Noah Clowney led with 19 points, while Keon Johnson and Cam Johnson scored 18 each.
This marks the Lakers' second consecutive loss. They will have to face the Bucks, Nuggets, Suns, and Spurs without LeBron in the upcoming games.
