NBA Twitter reacts to Lakers winning first game of the season: ’77-5 record’
After five consecutive losses, the Los Angeles Lakers won their first game of the season, 110-121, against the Denver Nuggets.
Following the game, the Lakers players gave Darvin Ham a shower during their locker room celebration for his first career win as head coach.
NBA Twitter, of course, reacted to the Lakers’ win and celebrations post-game.

The truth is, the real Lakers catalyst tonight is the undrafted kid out of Oklahoma … Austin Reaves. Yes, it has come to this.

The first game that Russ is ACTUALLY allowed to play point guard, the Lakers end up WINNING. Imagine that.
