#3 Poor shooting from the Lakers

The Lakers' struggles from deep are well known at this point. They don't have a consistent outside threat at this point and that is hampering their play.

The Lakers were again pathetic from outside the arc. They shot 7-31 from the 3PT line compared to 16-41 shooting from outside from the Raptors. None of the players got going for the Lakers.

Reggie Bullock who was acquired at the trade deadline specifically to solve the shooting woes shot only 2-7 from the 3PT line, while LeBron James shot 1-5 from 3. Kyle Kuzma has struggled the entire year with his three point shots and Caldwell-Pope missed some sitters to finish with 1-8 shooting from the 3PT line.
The season is almost over for the Lakers. But if they want to improve their displays next campaign, they must prepare a roster with some deadly shooters.
