Inside the Lakers’ Five-Game Road Trip: Surprising Revelations That Could Change Their Season
Deandre Ayton took credit for the postgame locker room’s Frank Sinatra soundtrack, but JJ Redick had Jay-Z on his mind. After wrapping up a grueling trip, one of Redick’s first thoughts was Jay-Z’s track “A Week Ago,” which begins with the lyric: “It was all good just a week ago.”
A week ago, the Lakers were 7-2. They were riding the high of a five-game winning streak heading into practice in Atlanta.
Then things turned sour.
The Lakers (10-4) were blown out against Atlanta and Oklahoma City on this trip. They played about one good half of basketball in their first three games. But during the most demanding part of the stretch, the Lakers rallied to find themselves again with critical wins against the Pelicans and Bucks.
