The Los Angeles Lakers have recently faced off against the Boston Celtics, with a final score of 121-125. There’s no doubt that this was a tough loss for the team in overtime. Even though LeBron James had a monster performance with 41 points, it wasn’t enough for the Lakers to get a win over their rivals. 

After the game, a lot of Lakers fans reacted angrily to the outcome. Many were unhappy about the team’s failure to beat their rivals, but they didn’t end up blaming the team. Instead, a lot of fans were unhappy with the officiating, and there was a notable no-call on a crucial LeBron James shot attempt at the end of the game.

The Lakers 100 percent win this game if Russ doesn’t come back in the game in OT

Refs vs Lakers

The Lakers were robbed tonight.

Please trade Westbrook the guy is smiling laughing after every loss he don’t gaf about winning.

The most rigged game I’ve ever watched in sports

NBA wants the Lakers to fail so bad

There shouldn’t even have been an overtime man

Sue the league and demand an investigation into the officiating

LAKERS ARE A GREAT TEAM DONT LET THIS GAME SAY OTHERWISE KEEP GOING

Fine these refs bruh oh my god this is so unbelievable

Not happy with Russ!! Trade him

They got lucky

I’ve lost count how many close games we lost this season

We deserved the win, thank you for playing well

Even with this loss, the Los Angeles Lakers have an opportunity to make the playoffs by the end of the season. They are only a few games back of the 4th seed in the West and could easily climb up the standings in the coming weeks.


The Lakers Could Potentially Make A Win-Now Move Before The Trade Deadline

There is a chance that the Los Angeles Lakers can get better soon, as they are likely to make a win-now move ahead of the trade deadline this year. Recently, they have been linked to Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon.

The Rockets run the risk of a diminishing return, but Gordon s.eems likely to be dealt by the deadline.

Interested teams include the Suns, Lakers, and Bucks.

Eric Gordon would give the Los Angeles Lakers an experienced player that is able to help the team’s bench with his perimeter shooting and shot creation. If the Lakers can get him without giving up a first-round pick, then he could be a great acquisition.

It remains to be seen if Eric Gordon will end up as a Lakers since there are clearly a number of teams that want him. The Lakers do have other options as well, and we’ll see what they do ahead of the trade deadline.
