Lakers Lose Close Games, Smart Blames Communication
The Los Angeles Lakers have suffered back-to-back close losses, raising concerns about their late-game execution. Marcus Smart, a key offseason addition, highlighted communication breakdowns as the main issue, with the team failing to switch on defense and letting opponents get open looks. Coach JJ Redick acknowledged the intense scrutiny but praised the teams resilience. Despite a 34-24 record, the Lakers aim to improve their late-game focus to prevent more disappointing defeats.
