The Los Angeles Lakers have won two of their last three games, with only one of their vintage quarter-long skids on Saturday against the Wizards standing in between them and their first winning streak since Jan. 7. Their most recent win came last night against the Cleveland Cavaliers, as the Lakers fought valiantly for the final three quarters of the game after it seemed like Darius Garland and the Cavs were going to outlast them due to the disparity in talent between the two teams.
Of course — as has been the case in any of LeBron James’ seasons in the purple-and-gold — the talent gap between the Lakers and their opponents can easily be closed via otherworldly performances from the kid from Akron.
