The Los Angeles Lakers have a long way to go if they want to raise the franchise’s 18th banner.

The Los Angeles Lakers had seemingly turned a corner this week. They responded from a halfhearted effort against the Portland Trail Blazers with gutsy and “resilient” overtime wins (without LeBron James) against the upstart Charlotte Hornets and contending Miami Heat. On Friday, in a 107-83 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves at Staples Center, the Lakers […]

Despite it being a close match at the half, the Lakers inexplicably collapsed in the third quarter, leading to an 83 – 107 drubbing from the 4 – 7 Timberwolves. It was an embarrassing defeat for a […]

Anthony Davis has been a force on defense for the Los Angeles Lakers, oftentimes saving Russell Westbrook, who can get a bit too careless. That holds true off the court.

The short-handed Los Angeles Lakers (7-5) have won back-to-back overtime games at home following their lackadaisical effort against the Portland Trail Blazers at the Moda Center last Saturday.

Anthony Davis (sprained right thumb) is questionable for the Los Angeles Lakers matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers at the Moda Center on Saturday.
