Summary

They say the two hardest games of a long road trip are the last one, and the first one back home after it's done. The Lakers at the least proved the latter, struggling for about 3.5 quarters against the visiting, and terrible, Brooklyn Nets before building a lead and winning 116-99. It'll look in the box score like an easy win, but it was anything but. Luka Donćić led the way with 41 points, while Austin Reaves got hot late to add 26. The centers were productive, combining for 19 points, 15 rebounds and eight blocks. But Luka picked up his 16th tech -- again -- after some jawing and a little push on Zaire Williams. The odds of this one being rescinded seem smaller. The NBA can only go back to that well so many times. It wasn't attractive, they won't like it, and neither will JJ Redick, but the Lakers got the win.
