December 24-Today, the Lakers lost 130-134 at home to the Hornets, suffering a three-game losing streak. After the game, a Lakers blogger summed up the Lakers’ poor performance in the backcourt.
Dennis Schroeder and Patrick Beverly played together for 27 minutes tonight, during which the Lakers had a net effectiveness of-15.5 and a defensive efficiency of 128.8. Throughout the season, their net effectiveness was-13.3, which is when many of their playing time were shared with the two superstars. As long as they play together, the team will lose blood. The side effect is that it pushes Lonnie Walker to the third position. He can’t play number three on the defensive end, especially in Thomas Bryant’s center lineup. He has lost more than 130 points in three consecutive games. ” The blogger wrote.
