Amidst the team’s 3-3 start, one of the most glaring ways they’ve been leaving points on the board has been their performance from the charity stripe, where they’ve converted just 84 of their 116 attempts, good for 72.4%, the eighth-worst percentage in the league.Ĭonsidering that the team has only been outscored by six total points on the year, and that their three defeats came by an average of just 8.3 points, it’s not hard to speculate that a few more made free throws could have made a difference in one or two of those losses. Free throws have been anything but free to start the season for the Los Angeles Lakers.
