Fresh off the heels of a win over the Minnesota Timberwolves and Kobe Bryant clearing Michael Jordan for sole possession of the third spot on the NBA’s all-time scoring list, the Lakers traveled to Indiana to play the Pacers on Monday night.
The Lakers decided to paid homage to Bryant’s incredible milestone by laying a complete egg and missing nearly all of their shots. It was awful. The Pacers took a 60-27 lead into halftime, and the Lakers finished the second quarter on 7-of-43 shooting. Bryant himself was 3-13 from the field.
It was the worst half of basketball the franchise has seen since 1960.
