“Fire Vogel” Trends on Twitter as Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook led Lakers blow 11 point lead to Trae Young’s Hawks

The Los Angeles Lakers just can’t seem to catch a break. They blew another big lead against the Atlanta Hawks and ended up losing the game. They were without LeBron James, but their poor game management skills showed up again. This loss leaves them 3 games below.500.

The Lakers started the game well, and they had an 11 point lead with a little over 10 minutes left in the game. But their ineffectiveness to close a game out bid them again, as the Hawks rallied back to win the game. The Lakers will be kicking themselves as this was a considerably easier fixture in their tough road trip. Now, they only have 2 and half-game lead over the 11th placed team, and that is not a position they imagined being in.

Frank Vogel has been getting a lot of stick, and that continued after this game. A lot of ex-players and fans have asked for him to be fired. However, the Lakers have chosen to stick by him, but that may not be the case if they continue to disappoint.

“Fire Vogel” was trending after the game

The Lakers fans were left fuming after they blew another lead against easier opposition. They called for Vogel to be sacked immediately. Here are some of the best reactions:

The Lakers blow another lead

The Lakers were coming off a two-game losing streak, and they had hoped to end the losing streak and pile on more misery on the Atlanta Hawks. They started the game really well, but the Hawks came back and took the lead. However, the Lakers were able to survive that run and they took the lead at halftime. They built on that lead and had 11 point lead at the 10:45 mark in the fourth quarter.

And then the collapse started. The Hawks went on a 14-2 run and they snatched the lead. The Lakers were never able to recover from this and they ended up losing the game. Anthony Davis continued his fine form since his return and ended the game with 27 points. Malik Monk led the scoring for the Lakers with 33 points while Trae Young led all scorers with 36 points.
