The Washington Wizards lost their 16th straight game for the second time this season after losing 96-134 at home to the LA Lakers in an NBA regular-season game.
For the Wizards, this is a tied record for the worst streak, and a loss in the next game will mean a new negative record. The Lakers had no problem against the team with the weakest asset in the League and took control of the events midway through the first half, then only increased their lead, which reached 42 points in the fourth quarter.
Veteran LeBron James had 24 points and 11 rebounds, then was rested, and his son Bronny James was on the court for the entire final quarter. He took advantage of the opportunity and scored a career-high 5 points in his NBA career, adding 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. Shane Milton also came off the bench with 21 points on 7 out of 8 shots.
For Washington, Jordan Poole led the way with 19 points and 5 rebounds, but the team shot just 31.9 percent of its shots in the game.
After this success, the Lakers are fifth in the Western Conference standings with 27 wins and 19 losses, while Washington is at the bottom of the East with an asset of 6-41.
