The Los Angeles Lakers were able to have arguably their best stretch of the season over the weekend, as they defeated two of the top teams in the league.
Starting on Friday night, the Lakers were able to get some revenge in their game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Earlier in the season, the Bucks were able to beat the Lakers on their homecourt. By losing to the Bucks, they were able to create the narrative that they were the team to beat in the NBA.
Beating the Lakers and having the best record overall in the NBA certainly warranted that talk.
