The Los Angeles Lakers are on a three-win stretch, boasting a 3-1 record tarnished by the only loss in season opener at the hands of the Los Angeles Clippers.
So far, the purple and gold have been all we expected from them, displaying a tenacious defense and a dominant offense run through Anthony Davis. The wins, however, have come against a Utah Jazz team deprived of one of his leading scorers, the Charlotte Hornets and the Memphis Grizzlies, both with low expectations and promises for the season.
Especially the Grizzlies game’s result (120-91) does not reflect the struggle the Lakers went through in the first three quarters.
