The Los Angeles Lakers are hoping to keep their winning streak rolling when the Golden State Warriors come to town for a matchup on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Since Anthony Davis criticized the team for a subpar defensive performance in the loss to the San Antonio Spurs earlier this month, the defending NBA champions have switched gears and are on a current five-game winning streak while boasting the league’s best net rating of 16.5.
Things got sloppy again in the first half of an eventual 112-95 win over the New Orleans Pelicans as the Lakers cranked up the pressure after halftime and allowed just 37 points over the final two quarters.
