NBA superstar LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA title in 2020. Talen Horton-Tucker, 19 at the time, was a part of the team. It was his first-ever NBA ring. However, Horton-Tucker was traded to the Utah Jazz during the 2022 off-season. In return, the Lakers received Patrick Beverley. The former Laker has now come back to haunt them.

Earlier today, against his former team, he threw down a monstrous poster dunk that shook the whole arena. Following this performance, NBA Twitter trolled the Lakers and created chaos.??

A final score of 116-139 meant that the Lakers had inscribed their eighth loss of the season. With LeBron James missing because of left foot soreness, the Lakers had no answer to Utah?s all-around performance. But Talen Horton-Tucker?s 15 points in 20 minutes performance really hurt fans.

Fans rip through LeBron James and the Lakers?

In the 3rd quarter, Talen Horton-Tucker launched up in the air and punched the ball down the basket. Tucker buffed up his chest and looked at the Jazz bench. The arena erupted in a deafening cheer. NBA Twitter did not miss the opportunity to troll the Lakers and showed no mercy.

Fans joked that for a player to be successful, he must join the lakers and simply get traded. Many fans also suggested that the Laker’s 2022-23 season is officially over as they believe that there is no way out of this crisis. Here are some reactions:

Another ex-Laker playing for the Utah Jazz was Jordan Clarkson. Much like Horton-Tucker, Clarkson contributed to Utah?s dominance with 22 points and 4 assists. The Jazz ended their night with 7 players registering points in the double digits.

Lakers’ Anthony Davis bagged 29 points and Russell Westbrook registered 22 points. The Lakers were left looking for answers despite a good offensive showing.?

To the media, Davis said, ?Honestly, it sucks. We don’t want to be 2 and 8 at all…is a hard pill for me to swallow.” He pointed out that the Lakers lost the game in the third quarter and claimed that the defense needs to improve.?

Clarkson said, ?It?s just always fun when the ball?s poppin? and we makin? shots.? He also hoped that the great vibe around the locker room would continue.
