The Los Angeles Lakers recently lost their third game in a row, kicking off a losing streak. The team could not match up with the Chicago Bulls who defeated the Lakers with a 124-108 final score. After rolling his ankle during the game, the Lakers staff rushed Anthony Davis to the locker room. The only good thing was that Davis did not miss the entire game and played an entirety of 38 minutes. Davis had a word with the media after the game. When asked about the Lakers’ struggle, Davis said, “We just gotta get back to having fun, playing for each other, playing together. Keep competing and stay the course.”

“There’s no break coming. There’s no help coming, there’s no cavalry. We gotta do it within this locker room, we got everyone back. We just gotta get that one [win], get the spirits back up, and go from there.”
