The Los Angeles Lakers have been the surprise of the NBA so far this season as they have won three consecutive games to put themselves at 4-3 on the season.
All three of their losses were on the road against playoff-caliber teams, the Utah Jazz, Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers, and the Lakers were in all three games in the fourth quarter.
Additionally, the team is 3-0 at home including wins over the Houston Rockets, Phoenix Suns, and the Golden State Warriors, which was extra special because it was Luke Walton’s first game against the team he was an assistant coach of for the past two seasons.
