The defending NBA champions, Los Angeles Lakers, started the season with an opening night loss to the Clippers (109-116). Sports analyst Skip Bayless expects Purple & Gold to bounce on Christmas Day when they face the Dallas Mavericks.
“I expect the Lakers to play a lot better than they did on opening night. AD will be more aggressive and we’ll start to see this team look like what I expected them to look like,” Sharpe said on UNDISPUTED.
