The Lakers End Their Most Important Road Trip of the Season at 5-1
The Lakers have won 13 of their last 15 games, including 5 of their last 6 on the road.
With just 9 games remaining in the regular season, the Lakers have found themselves in possession of the third seed in the West. They’re 1.5 games above Denver, 2 games up on Minnesota, and 3.5 games over Houston.
They’ve just finished their last big road trip of the season, beating Indiana, Orlando, Miami, and Houston twice. Their one loss is to Detroit.
So many memorable moments came from this trip. Luka Doncic was on an absolute tear. He scored 60 against Miami, hit the dagger against Houston, and scored no less than 32 points in any of the 6 road games. Luke Kennard also knocked down a huge game-winning bucket against the Magic.
The Lakers have been a pretty good road team all season, with a 24-14 record away from home, the third best in the West behind Oklahoma City and San Antonio. Their final three road games include trips to Oklahoma City, Dallas, and Golden State.
Tankathon currently ranks the Lakers as having the 9th-easiest remaining schedule among all 30 NBA teams. Some notable matchups include OKC twice, Phoenix, and Cleveland.
The Lakers look to continue stacking wins heading into the postseason with these 9 remaining games, starting with the 17-56 Brooklyn Nets at Crypto.com Arena on Friday, March 27th.
