The young Lakers learned another lesson the hard way on Tuesday, as with Los Angeles down two against Utah in the dying seconds, D'Angelo Russell pulled up for a potential game-winner rather than using a couple high screens to turn the corner.
The result was a game-ending airball that sucked the life out of Staples Center and sent the Lakers to their 13th loss in 15 games.
If you're looking for a positive spin, however, young Lakers guards who airball clutch jumpers against the Jazz usually turn out alright.
