Big changes are likely to be in store for the Los Angeles Lakers this offseason after their hopes of making the NBA playoffs were dashed when they fell 121-110 to the Suns in Phoenix on Tuesday.
The game marked the seventh consecutive loss for the 31-48 squad that went into the season with lofty expectations after adding veteran guard Russell Westbrook to the tandem of LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
What was supposed to be a heart-warming coming home story for the Long Beach native and former league MVP Westbrook quickly turned nightmarish amid injuries to James and Davis which prevented the core from ever really finding a rhythm.
