When the Los Angeles Lakers faced the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night, the hope was that Luka Doncic would be able to get his team back on track in the aftermath of a 111-101 loss to the Boston Celtics and LeBron James suffering a groin injury.

Noah Clowney scored 19 points and the Brooklyn Nets beat Los Angeles 111-108 on Monday night in the Lakers' first game since losing LeBron James to a strained left groin.
