Latest news and updates about the Lakers
The Deandre Ayton era in Los Angeles has been a rollercoaster ride. In the best moments, Ayton has been as joyful as anyone on the team and a walking double-double. The lows, however, include games in which he seems disinterested in playing and reports of his dissatisfaction with his role on the team. Despite the frustration that […]
With the Western Conference a tight-knit race yet again this season, this series will look at the standings and games to watch across the league as the Lakers look to secure home court and move up the standings. These are the good times. All the teams below the Lakers have lost games recently, and when […]
My buddy Marc was kind enough to invite me to the Spurs’ Monday night game against the Clippers. The Clippers now play in their own arena after years of playing second fiddle (in every way) to the Lakers when the teams shared the Staples Center/Crypto.com Arena. (Apparently, another team called the “L.A. Kings” also play […]
At this point in the season, each win has to feel like finding gold. Monday night in Los Angeles wasn’t the prettiest, but it kept the goal alive to snatch the first seed, which would at least give them a seventh game at home against all West opponents in the playoffs. On top of that, […]
The Houston Rockets continued with their sloppy and ugly offensive basketball, turning the ball over 22 times and falling apart down the stretch for a 100-92 defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers. The Rockets scored four points in about a seven-minute stretch of the fourth quarter, as the Lakers went on a […]
When the Lakers and Rockets last met on Christmas Day, it was a very revealing game for LA. The Lakers were run off the floor and forced to really begin searching for answers to questions that it took them some time to solve. Quite a bit has changed for the Lakers since that blowout loss, […]
The Lakers survived an ugly, ugly fourth quarter of basketball to come away with a sixth straight win, knocking off the Rockets on the road, 100-92. An absolute rock fight broke out between the two teams in the fourth as they combined for just 12 points in the first eight minutes of the period. The […]

Given that LeBron James has played more basketball season that any other player you’d think he was done with firsts in his career. However, he gave us all a new one in LA’s matchup against the Nuggets. In the fourth quarter, LeBron dove on the floor, fully extending his body and going airborne to try […]

To win a basketball game, it takes a combination of skill and luck. The Lakers had both elements working for them in their overtime victory over the Nuggets. Austin Reaves missed a free throw on purpose in the closing seconds of regulation, grabbed the rebound and made the shot that sent the game to overtime. […]

LOS ANGELES — During the 2020s, beating the Nuggets has become a tough task. The Lakers have experienced this firsthand over the years, with a Western Conference Finals loss to Denver in 2023, a first-round playoff exit against them in 2024 and even painful regular season losses such as their defeat during Kobe Bryant’s statue […]
The Lakers beat the Nuggets 127-125 in an overtime thriller. LA now owns the tiebreaker over Denver. Clutch plays by LeBron and Reaves sent the game into OT.

As a sports fan growing up in Los Angeles, I thought I knew a thing or to about fan bases with lofty expectations. I was, after all, living in the land of the Lakers, where the sports radio – powered in part by what I felt were unrealistic expectations by the callers – was so […]
During LA’s current homestand, they’ve faced some of the toughest competition in the league. They responded impressively, earning results over the Knicks and Wolves. Even more surprising is that they won these games while LeBron James was out. LA winning and Austin Reaves playing better in James’ absence led people to speculate that this team […]
It’s very clear how good Deandre Ayton can be. He was picked No. 1 in the same draft as Luka Dončić because he can dominate as a scorer, rebounder and even as a defender. When he reaches those heights, he flirts with his maximum potential. But when he falls short of that quality, it’s equally […]

The Kade Anderson Revolution will be televised. Tonight’s match-up against the Dodgers will be broadcast on SNLA, and it’s an evening game, so you might even get to watch it. Of course, it’s up against the WBC Quarterfinals, so maybe your attention will be divided. The Mariners are mostly going with the B-Squad for tonight’s […]

The days leading up to the NCAA Tournament can be just as big for WNBA Draft prospects as the tournament itself. By mid-March, most WNBA veterans have typically already signed in free agency, leaving precious few roster spots for incoming rookies and narrowing down who might get drafted to where. But this is, of course, […]
