The Los Angeles Lakers have put together one of the most dominant starts to the first half of a regular season in team history as they have gone 34-8.
In their most recent win against the Houston Rockets, they overcame a slow start on both ends and found their defensive groove in the third quarter, finding ways to limit James Harden who has been on an absolute tear scoring the basketball during the 2019-20 NBA season. They managed to hold Houston to only 17 points in the third quarter, an impressive feat that proved to be the difference in the game for Los Angeles.
