Summary

Lakers fans are panicking! The day’s NBA news including the champs having lost three in a row— is there any reason to worry in LA?

0:00.0	The Lakers have lost three in a row.
0:06.2	Is it time to worry?
0:08.0	The team L.A. is chasing.
0:09.3	The Utah Jazz set a new team record, but that was after the Charlotte Hornets really pissed them off.
0:15.2	God, I love that game.
0:16.5	Let's get into it.
0:17.5	Hey, I'm Tassmellis, and this is what you need to know in the NBA for Tuesday, February 23rd.
0:27.6	The first thing you need to know is that the world is not collapsing for the Lakers. Yes, the champs have lost three in a row after losing to the Wizards at home. And they have some problems with the bottom
0:38.8	dwelling teams in the NBA. But that's better than having problems with the best teams in the NBA.

1:11.1	stinks. If you want to nitpick about something with the Lakers, it's that they're up 17 in the
1:16.8	third quarter and then they just shot three after three after three after three. They missed
1:20.6	12 straight threes between the third and fourth quarter when they should have been going to the
1:25.7	hole to the free throw line, especially with their old mate, old Laker, Mo Wagner, starting in the middle for the
1:31.8	Wizards.
1:32.7	They should have been going down there.
1:34.9	But LeBron James, 31 points and 13 assists isn't getting old.
