Bill Plaschke: Lakers final stretch filled with headache, nausea and dimming hopes
LOS ANGELES — Headache. Nausea.
The two words were uttered Tuesday night to describe the condition of a certain Laker.
The two words could also describe the reaction of their fans.
Headache. Nausea.
In the final hours before tipoff against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night at Crypto.com Arena, the Lakers announced that Anthony Davis was going to miss the game because of a headache and nausea.
Davis is their most important player. This was going to be, thus far, their most important game.
It was an absence of monumental proportions. It became a loss of dreadful ramifications.
