The Lakers are now on a two-game losing streak after falling against the Raptors at home (103-114). For the second game in a row Los Angeles started the game poorly.
The purple and gold scored just 12 points in the first quarter against Toronto’s 33. And despite a push in the fourth quarter by the Lakers, the Raptors held on their lead and secured the victory.
After the game Russell Westbrook, who had 14 points for the losers, was asked why his team has struggled so much in first quarters in the last two games.
“I’m not sure,” he said. “I don’t have the answer for you.” Westbrook’s postgame interview lasted for less than one and a half minute as the 33-year-old superstar appeared not to be too interested in talking to the media.
