A Lakers nightmare, a painful loss has the team in the lower side of the West

Following a dominating first half for the Los Angeles Lakers over the Utah Jazz with an outstanding performance by D'Angelo Russell, the game quickly became a complete nightmare in the second half.

LeBron James wasn't available for tonight's game vs. the Utah Jazz, during the contest Cam Reddish got fouled and had to leave early. But the nightmare didn't stop there, Anthony Davis also gave a forgettable performance.

To make things worse, Austin Reaves wasn't able to close out the game as he got fouled out and had to stay on the bench which didn't help the purple and gold that failed to have an epic comeback.

Despite an outstanding night by D'Angelo Russell scoring 39 points to lead the way, LA failed to get the win and now has a 19-21 record which isn't starting to look good for the team this season.

The former Laker that the team needs to bring back

Jordan Clarkson, former Lakers player gave a great performance coming off the bench for Utah as he played 31 minutes and scored 21 points to help his team get the win.
