The Los Angeles Lakers begin their longest road trip of the season Friday night. We take a look and preview all five games on the lengthy trip.
On Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Lakers upset the Boston Celtics 108-107 to win their third game in a row. They’re currently enjoying their best run of the season as they are winners in 7 of their last 9 games, and own a 6 game winning streak at home.
The Lakers are going to have to try and take that STAPLES Center success into the next week or so, as the team starts a five-game road trip on Friday.
The trip will have the Lakers playing five road games in the course of nine days against the Chicago Bulls, Toronto Raptors, Orlando Magic, Brooklyn Nets and Oklahoma City Thunder. The games will be played in that order, causing the Lakers to travel a lot of miles over nine days.
This will put a lot of strain on the Lakers mentally and physically, but either way, there are some easily winnable games during the period. Let us take a look at the road trip and preview each of the games that the Lakers will be playing as they hit the road for their longest road trip of the regular season.
