Hey you, how about some facts for you on this beautiful Saturday. The Lakers are in town to continue a rivalry that your buddy insists hasn’t ever existed anytime the Kings beat the Lakers. Since last we saw the survivors of this flaming bandwagon of mediocrity and were graced with exclusively one syllable comebacks, the Lakers have caught lukewarm, winners of 13 of their last 20 games, and it comes at no surprised they did this with Lonzo Ball sidelined since mid-January. Sniffing success for the first time since Kobe still had teammates good enough to be upset about when he didn’t pass to them, the Lakers did the logical thing in a deep draft with many competitors, and traded for a superior point guard, in Isaiah Thomas.
