Friday the 13th turned to be a bad day for the Los Angeles Lakers following a 105-79 loss against the Denver Nuggets.
First quarter look great, Lakers winning the quarter 28-26.
The Lakers' Ron Artest missed three point before halftime, as the Lakers trailed the Nuggets 58-56.
The second half looked as if the Lakers left their legs in the locker room while they try anything to make a shot.
After shooting 47.7% in the first half, the Lakers made only 10-of-44 shots in the 2nd half (22.7%) to finish at 35% on the night.
The Lakers scored only 23 points in the second half, making it the lowest scored points in the franchise history.
Despite this game being the second of a back to back and the Lakers arriving in Denver at 4 a.m. There are no excuses for the lost, it is a straight up loss against the Nuggets team.
It's okay, I will give up this 26 point loss up for the 27 point win the Lakers had in Game 6 in the Western Conference Finals that booked us a ticket for the NBA Finals any time of the day.
It was expected that the "Thuggets" were going to come out and prove something to the Lakers after losing to the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.
Lakers fall to 7-2 on the season and now head back home to honor old teammate, Trevor Ariza, in a mini ring ceremony and a game that I will be attending.
