The Los Angeles Lakers will start 2020 like they did the beginning of the season. On a hot streak.
The Lakers have to play defense to be a dominant team. Plain and simple. Over the last two games, they have done that. Against Dallas, they held them to 95 points with LeBron having an off night shooting the ball (13 points 3-of-10 shooting!) and Kuzma scoring the same amount of points anyone reading this article did.
The Lakers finished the month at 9-5, which is very good for NBA teams in a month. The Lakers can basically run the table until they face the Houston Rockets on January 18th. If they do, it’s going to be very tough for the rest of the contenders to catch up.
In other words. relax and enjoy the moment.
From Lake Show Life to you and yours, we’ll let LeBron James take us out.
