The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the hottest teams in the NBA. After losing opening night against the LA Clippers, the team has rattled off six consecutive wins to take over the No. 1 spot in the Western Conference. This is the best start the team has had since the Kobe Bryant days, pre-Achilles tear.
The last three victories for the Lakers were especially impressive because they all came on the road. Los Angeles went on their first road trip of the season and it was a successful one, as they went 3-0.
Things started against the Dallas Mavericks, there the Lakers had a lackluster start.
