A head-to-head matchup between the Brooklyn Nets and the Los Angeles Lakers took place at the Crypto.com Arena on Sunday night. There is no doubt that the Lakers are going to have a hard time establishing a good position in this league, with a 2-10 record going into the game. As the game progressed, fans saw Russell Westbrook testing isolated plays against former Oklahoma City Thunder teammate Kevin Durant. 

Even though his main goal is to score, Durant’s defensive plays cannot be ignored. Notably, Westbrook’s technique didn’t work in front of the two-time NBA champion on this occasion. In the midst of all this, every fan was focused on how the game turned out, but an NBA commentator said something about this particular play that has sparked quite a bit of discussion on Twitter. 

During the Lakers vs Nets game, NBA fans were enraged at Russell Westbrook being “swallowed up” by Kevin Durant. The Lakers eventually won the game with a score of 116-103 against the Nets. The Brooklyn Nets, on the other hand, were in a good place ahead of the game with four wins in their last five games. The Los Angeles Clippers game, in particular, was a big deal for them.

With the win, the Lakers ended their five-game losing streak. For the Nets, Seth Curry came off the bench and scored 22 points on 9 of 15 shooting to go along with Durant’s 27 points on 10 of 16 shooting. In general, it was a treat to watch the Nets and the Los Angeles Lakers face off in a close matchup.

When it comes to their current performance in the NBA season, the Lakers are undoubtedly in a bad spot. Their now 3-10 record for the season so far leaves them down in 14th place on the Western Conference table. 

Many fans were disappointed by their 120-114 defeat on Friday against the Sacramento Kings. In the wake of the latest game, social media has been buzzing. Fans reacted to the commentator’s reaction to Durant shutting down Westbrook in the paint.
