Things are starting to look up for the Lakers. After a brutal start to their season, the team has rattled off three straight wins with their latest coming via a 31 point blowout of the Spurs on Sunday. It’s also worth noting that the Lakers are set to play the Spurs twice more this week alone.
A big reason for the team’s slow, but steady, climb out of the Western Conference basement has come through strong individual play from multiple sources during LeBron James’ absence. Most notably, Anthony Davis’ continued terrorizing of the paint and rim.
