“Slow-Lakers”, Doncic read from the cake, which soon became a slogan that the whole room started chanting. The Lakers certainly found reason to celebrate despite the losses, with Luka Magic turning 27 on February 28.
Regardless, the Lakers are still sixth in the West at 34-24, but have lost key ground to teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets, who are both 37-23. Dončić and co. they have a fairly simple path to ending slippage.
They have a relatively healthy roster with each of Austin Reeves, LeBron and Doncic. In comparison, the Warriors are severely handicapped, with the Curry brothers alongside Jimmy Butler and Lej Cryer, Kristaps Porzingis questionable and Draymond Green likely to play.
The Lakers need to right the ship quickly to avoid falling further, with teams like the Phoenix Suns (34-26) in close pursuit. The Suns also handed them the third of three straight losses, two of which came against teams the Lakers expected to beat.
In addition to the Celtics, the Lakers also lost to the Orlando Magic 110-109, who came again despite the presence of their big three. A win will not only end the streak, but also dampen the buzz surrounding their three biggest stars in the same starting lineup.
