Not so fast. After a three-game winning streak, many were hoping the Lakers have turned things around.
However, the Lakers begin their road trip with a disappointing loss to the Phoenix Suns, who were tied for the worst record in the West. 
The Lakers committed 20 turnovers in this ball game and were outscored 13-29 in the 4th quarter. Just like the game against the New Orleans Hornets, the Lakers lost a lead but weren’t able to hang on for a win.
The Lakers’ ball movement has improved, but their usual flaws, such as turnovers and free throws, have yet to be fixed.
The Lakers lose their first road game 86-92, falling deeper into the hole they’ve been trying to climb out of.
