With this negative result, the Lakers put their record at 31 wins and 44 losses, and drop to 11th place in the Western Conference. In other words, they leave the positions that allow them to play in the 2022 “play in” tournament.
In this way, the disappointing campaign of the Los Angeles team reached the point that it is currently eliminated, with seven games left to finish the regular round.
