The Los Angeles Lakers have improved to an NBA-best 9-3 on the season, cruising past the Rockets by a 117-100 count Tuesday. As the season progresses the Lakers are figuring out teams more and more. That’s what makes this LA team scary.
They have been defeating opponents without being in sync. LeBron James and Anthony Davis’ leadership gives the Lakers an ability to have that solid foundation while still getting everyone on one page. This win is yet another step in the right direction for the Lakers.
