Even though their record is still only 19-19, and Anthony Davis will be out for at least the majority of January, the Lakers seem to be turning a corner. Sure, that’s probably been hypothesized at least a couple (dozen) times this season, only for us to be immediately disappointed, but something feels different now with the team winning three of their last four games.
They’re most recently coming off a narrow 108-103 win over the Timberwolves, with a dominant 139-106 win against the Trail Blazers preceding that. They’ll now take on the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday, a team they’ve split games with in their two matchups this season.
