The Los Angeles Lakers lost yet again on Monday night, now against the Magic, and it seems like the rough patch is not going away.
Having won only three of their last 10 games and going through a three-game losing streak, Luka Doncic didn’t hold back on his thoughts on why the team is not winning, despite impressive performances from LeBron James and himself.
Doncic had a great night at the Kia Center delivering 32 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, while LeBron contributed with 24 points, 7 assists and 6 boards. But that wasn’t enough to overcome the Lakers poor collective game.

After the loss in Orlando, Luka said: “I think we just got a little bit satisfied. We can’t afford to become satisfied with past success at this critical point in the season”, referring to the Lakers eight-game winning streak in february. Afterwards, he added: “We need to rediscover the defensive intensity and physicality that defined our winning streak.

While the Lakers are fourth on the West, with only 11 regular-season games remaining, securing the top-six spot is becoming a challenging battle for the purple and gold franchise.
