Lakers Fall to Cavs on Last Home Game Before Road Trip

So close where the Lakers were in an attempt to get back on track in the midst of a tough Grammy road trip ahead of them. Nick Young was the Lakers' top performer off the bench with 28 points, 1 rebound, and 6 assists, but the Lakers couldn't get the victory as they fell to the Cavs 120-118 behind Luol Deng's 27 point and a perfect 5-5 beyond the arc performance earning head coach Mike Brown his first win in LA since being fired by the Lakers' management a year ago. Jodie Meeks added 26 points, Wesley Johnson added 17 points, and Kendall Marshall, bad shooting night, only scoring 10 points on 4-11 shooting, but displayed great facilitation dishing out 16 assists. Pau Gasol was questionable this game after suffering an injury Friday night against the Clippers, but played tonight scoring 20 points and 12 rebounds.

Final Score: vs. Cleveland 120-118 [L]
