Not All Negative for the Lakers
Although the Lakers will go into the final 10 games of the season with some adversity to face following their rough four game losing streak, there are some positives to reflect upon. Kyle Kuzma hit the “rookie wall” in February, but has broken through that wall with some force, as “Reed_NBA” shows below.
Kuzma’s March vs February, tearing down the rookie wall:

Along with Kuzma, Julius Randle continues to play like a mad man and shows no signs of slowing down before the season ends. As I said above, Ingram and Hart should be back sooner rather than later, and hopefully Isaiah’s hip soreness isn’t more than just soreness.
It’d be hard to believe that Lonzo won’t have some threes fall between now and the end of the season, and once the shot is back along with the players that have been injured, the Lakers should be able to notch a few more wins on their belt before going into the important offseason.
