The Lakers suffered their worst loss in franchise history yesterday


January 22nd is a day that will be treasured for Celtics fans and other Laker-haters alike.

A 49 point loss is truly remarkable. Now I'm not gonna say that plus/minus is the best way to judge someone's performance in a game, but the Lakers prized rookie Brandon Ingram was a -45 for the game, which is incredible in its own right. Unfortunately it's not the worst +/- in a single game in NBA history, Manny Harris a former shooting guard for the Cavaliers set that mark with a -57, coincidently enough against the Lakers, back in January of 2011 (via Basketball-reference.com).
