Here are six Lakers games worth watching this season:
Oct. 26 vs. Houston
Luke Walton’s presence will represent the Lakers’ hopeful future. Mike D’Antoni’s return will represent part of the Lakers’ recently awful past.
Oct. 30 at Oklahoma City
Nothing will ever stop Russell Westbrook’s motor. But how much D’Angelo Russell attempts to slow him will provide an early indication of whether the second-year guard truly buys in defensively. Teams also play Nov. 22 at Staples Center and Feb. 24 in OKC.
Nov. 4 vs. Golden State
The Lakers would love to emulate the Warriors’ culture.
