Well they produced the worst first quarter in the history of the franchise Saturday, in terms of point deficit.
(And Kawhi Leonard wasn't even playing for Toronto)
Lakers set franchise mark with 25-point deficit after one quarter
LOS ANGELES -- The Lakers followed up perhaps their best win of the season on Saturday with one of the worst first quarters in franchise history on Sunday.
The Toronto Raptors outscored Los Angeles 42-17 in the opening frame, with Serge Ibaka (20 points on 8-for-8 shooting) personally outscoring the Lakers, as they shot just 7-for-21 as a team.
Entering Sunday, the Lakers had never been outscored by more than 24 points in a first quarter in the shot-clock era (since 1954-55), according to data compiled by ESPN Stats & Information.
"They just came out and hit us right in the mouth," said LeBron James, who finished the 121-107 loss with 18 points, six assists and two rebounds. "It's going to be very, very hard to make a game out of that when you're trying to expend so much energy trying to get back in it."

</header>NBA star LeBron James apologized on Sunday, for sharing song lyrics on Instagram which contained a reference to getting “Jewish Money.”
The Lakers forward made the apology while on ESPN, after Los Angeles lost to the Memphis Grizzlies.
“Apologies, for sure, if I offended anyone,” James said after the game. “That’s not why I chose to share that lyric. I always [post lyrics]. That’s what I do. I ride in my car, I listen to great music, and that was the byproduct of it. So I actually thought it was a compliment, and obviously it wasn’t through the lens of a lot of people. My apologies. It definitely was not the intent, obviously, to hurt anybody.”

Well, which one is it? Was posting the lyric an inadvertent act? Or, did he share it as a compliment? It would seem impossible that it could be both.

Such a thing could probably be found out if James ever did an interview with anyone who would challenge him. However, such an event doesn’t seem likely. And given the number of obvious holes in James’ logic, it’s probably better for him if he doesn’t.
