With the score 2-0, Los Angeles was in chaos.
Whether it was the media or the fans, after the Lakers lost the second game of the series, the morale felt drained, and everyone was feeling frustrated.
There's no way around it, if it was just the team losing continuously, a 0-2 deficit, then although the situation was difficult, it hadn't reached a point of despair.
After all, the next game would be held on Los Angeles' home court.
This year, Los Angeles is still strong at home.
Even if they lost 2 games straight, as long as they return home, the people of Los Angeles believe they can perform well enough to turn the tables.
But the problem now is more severe than losing 2 games...
Kobe and Chris Paul had a conflict, which is why, after losing, the people of Los Angeles felt suffocated.
This "non-combat guilt" of losing was really unbearable.
