“Big time,” LaVine, who finished the game with five three-pointers, said.
“We’ve lost a lot in a row, and they’ve won a lot in a row. I think we’re a really good team, but we go through little lapses or times where we play bad. That’s how fast the game can change.”
“Everybody has a career-worst night,” LaVine said. “Everybody in the NBA has. I guess that was my night.”
