On Sunday, the Los Angeles Lakers faced a big game against the New Orleans Pelicans that had big implications as far as the play-in tournament was concerned.
L.A. came into the contest holding a slim lead in the standings over the Pelicans for the ninth seed in the Western Conference.
It came out hot in the first half, taking a 23-point lead at one point, but things turned in a major way in the second half, while the Lakers went cold.
The Purple and Gold lost 116-108 and now hold 10th place, just one game ahead of the San Antonio Spurs.
Across Twitter, the NBA community had nothing but criticism and even scorn for LeBron James and company following this costly setback.
