The Los Angeles Lakers suffered a difficult 113-80 loss to the Toronto Raptors in a game that they will likely be eager to forget. The team struggled from the outset on both ends of the floor and didn’t have the energy that has typically defined the team this season.

The latest episode of the Lakers Nation Podcast breaks down what happened in the loss, and why the vaunted Los Angeles bench wasn’t able to have the level of impact that they normally do. We also dig into Luol Deng’s poor play, which is becoming a bigger issue with every game.

Fortunately, it’s not all bad, as rookie Brandon Ingram had a career-night and should give fans a lot of hope for a bright future in Los Angeles. All that and much more on this episode of the LN Podcast:
