"For all their championships, Hall of Famers and All-Stars over the years, the Lakers have a losing record against two teams.

One makes sense — the Boston Celtics, the only franchise the Lakers trail in NBA titles.

The other is a head-scratcher: Charlotte.

The Lakers are 6-8 against the Bobcats, not close to the historical context of their 121-153 record against Boston but an irritant nonetheless."
