After their loss to the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday, the Los Angeles Lakers are now a quarter of the way through the NBA regular season. Their record (11-9) might not be where they wanted it to be — or maybe it is — but regardless, head coach Luke Walton is encouraged by the growth his team has made over the past month.
After practice on Wednesday, Walton told reporters that he and his team sat down to go over the last 10-game stretch, and he was pleased with how much the Lakers have improved defensively.
