‘Embarrassing’ Lakers lose by 41 points amid worst two-game stretch in their history

Team have a 70-point deficit in last two games
JJ Redick says his players are struggling with basics

A 29-point loss in Minnesota on Monday. A 41-point loss in Miami on Wednesday. Together, it’s the worst two-game stretch in Los Angeles Lakers history.

The Lakers lost to the Heat 134-93 on Wednesday, that loss coming two days after a 109-80 loss to the Timberwolves. The 70-point margin is an all-time, two-game low for the Lakers; they were outscored by 67 over two separate two-game spans of the 2016-17 season.
