The Los Angeles Lakers are taking care of business out of the All-Star break, winning their fourth game in a row in a 131-113 victory over the Miami Heat. The Lakers led by as many as 20 points in the fourth quarter, their offense roaring through the streets of South Beach. This was the Lakers’ first win in Miami since Feb. 10, 2008.
Julius Randle set the tone early, scoring 11 points in the first eight minutes of play on five-of-seven shooting. Hassan Whiteside struggled containing him around the paint, Kelly Olynyk didn’t do any better, and the Lakers got a big boost from the Running Bull himself.
