The Los Angeles Lakers resumed their homestand last night, as they took on the reigning champions Oklahoma City Thunder. Both sides had their respective MVP hopefuls on the bench, as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Luka Dončić both sat out due to injuries. The Thunder, however, displayed the type of depth and quality that made them NBA…

Coming off of consecutive wins, the Los Angeles Lakers continued their homestand against the Golden State. With Luka Dončić, Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler all sidelined due to injury, this contest did not quite have the intrigue of past Lakers-Dubs battles, nonetheless it was an important game for both sides. LA prevailed in a tightly-contested…

With the trade deadline coming and going (and the Lakers not doing much in it), it’s good to shift the focus squarely on basketball again. After a modestly successful eight-game road trip, where the team went 5-3, they finally returned home for a fortuitously timed eight-game homestand, as the season nears the All-Star break. Against…

After clobbering the Wizards in D.C., the Los Angeles Lakers travelled to New York for a two game set against the Knicks and Nets. It was a mixed bag as we saw both good and bad, but at the very least the team was able to salvage their losses. The Knicks game didn’t go as…

The Lakers travelled to Washington to take on the Wizards after a blowout loss at Cleveland last Wednesday, one of the worst losses of the season. The team was badly in need of a win, as they’re currently trying to hold on to the fifth seed in the Western Conference, with the Phoenix Suns trailing…

Coming off a much-needed win against the Dallas Mavericks, the Lakers took the floor once again to play the Chicago Bulls at the United Center. They put forth an energized and complete performance that saw the team emerge victorious, 129-118. A solid step forward. Unfortunately, the following game didn’t render such fruits as the Lakers…

The 2026 Los Angeles Lakers have Jekyll & Hyde syndrome. The LA Lakers were badly in need of a pick-me-up as they rolled into Dallas to play the 19-26 Mavericks. With these Lakers, however, no game is a given. And given the team’s recent blues, this was somewhat of a must-win game. It’s been a…

The Lakers vibes have gone the way of the dead of winter. After solidifying some momentum following their win at the Mile High City, one that saw LA erase a 14-point halftime deficit into an improbable comeback, the team finally looked primed for a run of inspiring basketball. Sadly, those plans were halted in Inglewood,…

The Lakers played again tonight. This time against the vaunted Denver Nuggets, albeit without All-Universe superstar Nikola Jokić, but still boasting a feisty and talented group led by Jamaal Murray and Aaron Gordon. LA came into the game on the heels of a rough skid, having gone 2-5 in the their last seven. Sunday’s win…
