The Lakers have had a tough run since their NBA cup glory. The team went on unbeaten run during the In-season Tournament and raised their first ever In-season championship banner up the rafters. But, since then, the LA side had been slipping down in a spiral. Notably, the team managed to win only 3 games out of 11 after that.
