Lakers and LeBron sink to woeful NBA lows
LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers have sunk to several horrible lows in a demoralising loss to the Denver Nuggets in the NBA.
The Lakers have struggled to shoot at times this season and a loss to the Nuggets was a glaring example of their problems.
In a 117-85 defeat, the Lakers shot five of 35 from three-point range.
The 30 missed three-pointers is a season high and also the worst percentage in Lakers history when the team has shot attempted more than 30 three-pointers.
LeBron James especially struggled, posting a season-low 14 points on five-of-15 shooting.
LeBron James set numerous season-lows as the Lakers suffered a season-worst 32-point defeat to the Nuggets. The Lakers as a team shot 5-35 (14.3%) from 3-pt on Tuesday. That's the worst 3-pt pct they've ever had in a game where they attempted at least 30 3-pt FG. pic.twitter.com/5NEdI70Iy6

But the Nuggets played very well. Six different players scored in double-digits including Malik Beasley, who scored a career-high 20 points off the bench.
Paul Millsap also posted a double-double with 20 points on nine-of-14 shooting and 11 rebounds.
The Lakers have now lost back-to-back games while Denver have won four in a row.
