Los Angeles Lakers great Magic Johnson, 62, accused his former team of being spineless after the visitors were blown out 133-96 by the Denver Nuggets in the National Basketball Association (NBA) on Saturday.
On the second-biggest defeat of LeBron James’ 19-year career, Johnson tweeted: “We as Lakers fans can accept being outplayed but we deserve more than a lack of effort and no sense of urgency. Owner Jeanie Buss, you deserve better.”
This was the Lakers’ third loss on the spin, dropping them to seventh in the Western Conference, with the Nuggets overtaking them in sixth place.
Los Angeles’ Russell Westbrook could not come up with an excuse when asked about Johnson’s rant.
