Fans on social media have lambasted the performance of the Los Angeles Lakers, that too on a special day against the Denver Nuggets.
The Lakers went down in the contest with a score of 114-106 on Thursday at the crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The defeat was a severe blow for the home side as it was a day marked for special events.
On Thursday, the Lakers unveiled a statue to pay tribute to their former star Kobe Bryant to acknowledge his contribution to the franchise.
The defeat did not go down well for the franchise supporters, especially on the social media platform X—previously known as Twitter—where they expressed their anger in different ways. One of them went on to even write that Bryant would ‘rolling in his grave’ after that performance.
The defeat was the Lakers' first after three consecutive victories as they are still placed in the fourth position in the Pacific standings with 27 wins and 26 defeats.
On the night, the star performer for the winning team was point guard Jamal Murray who ended up registering 29 points to go with seven rebounds and 11 assists.
For the home team, power forward Anthony Davis was the star performer as he ended up registering 32 points to go with nine rebounds and three assists.
