LA was understandably rusty and distracted in a loss to the San Antonio Spurs, who had a surprise for grieving coach JJ Redick.

The NBA, players and Lakers are donating money and organizing donation drives to help the community through the fires.

Lakers forward Dorian Finney-Smith said coaches prepared the players well for Monday's game versus the Spurs, but that players didn't do their part.

The addition of Dorian Finney-Smith was a move expected to get the Los Angeles Lakers moving in the right direction towards contention. But after suffering their third consecutive loss, there remains a ton of questions surrounding the Lakers and where they stand in this tough Western Conference.
