It appears that the Lakers are peaking at the right time. They have won four straight games, doing so while beating top teams like the Wolves and opponents they are favored against, such as the Bulls. Now, the Lakers find themselves with the third-best record in the West, a position they undoubtedly want to keep.

The Los Angeles Lakers have managed to show a level of resiliency on and off the court while entering Thursday’s game on a three-game win streak.

The Lakers are reportedly preparing a record $240M contract offer for Austin Reaves, which would become the largest deal in franchise history.

Rui Hachimura put up five points. Luka Dončić began to surge, draining two 3-pointers. Buzelis was leading Chicago with seven points. At the 3:05 mark, the Lakers were up by six.

The Los Angeles Lakers signed Deandre Ayton in the offseason as an improvement at the center spot. A wild stat shows how much they need him. The post Wild Stat Shows How Much the Lakers Need Deandre Ayton appeared first on Heavy Sports.

The Lakers will have to beat the best to be the best, but they would want to avoid this team in round one to set up a deep playoff run.

The Lakers overcame a bad start to earn their third win in a row and their sixth in their last seven games.

Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves guided the team to a 120-106 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves with great coordination on the court.

Tip-off is at 11:00 PM ET on NBC and Peacock.
