Lakers Fast Break

The Lakers continue their road trip on the second of ANOTHER back-to-back as they looked to pick up a second straight road win at the United Center to face off against the Bulls. And with the Lakers fumbling away an 18-point lead late in the game, Austin Reaves got the lead back on a layup with just seconds left. But what went the Lakers way in Indiana didn't in Chicago as Josh Giddey's ha...

The Lakers continued the road trip as they looked to get out of their doldrums with a stop in Indiana against the Pacers. And with Luka Doncic (34 points) "pacing" the Lakers for much of the game, the Lakers found themselves in a tight one against Indiana down the stretch. However, it took a putback from a struggling LeBron James with .01 seconds left as the Lakers got the checkered flag...

And will moderator Sports Baby just be able to watch the game? Find out as we ha...

The Lakers start the road trip in the Magic Kingdom as they face off against Orlando. And even with the Lakers taking a double-digit lead in the second quarter, the Magic started to find holes in the Lakers' defense as their star duo of Franz Wagner (32) and Paulo Banchero (30) led a fierce comeback to close the half and proceeded to take control in a 34-18 third quarter to cast a nasty spell...

The Lakers are back whole as Rui and LeBron join the guys that sat out Thursday's game as the Lakers faced off against the Bulls on Saturday night. But having all the Lakers back didn't mean much against terrific performances by Josh Giddey, Coby White, and the Bulls as they trounced the Lakers 146-115. Tune in as the guys talked about how everyone back healthy looked, why the defense was...

The Lakers, with LeBron still out of the lineup, decided to sit down Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves as they tried to do the impossible and beat the Milwaukee Bucks on the second game of another back-to-back. But with only the back end of the roster guys on the court, Giannis Antetokounmpo feasted on them as he and the Bucks ran up the score in a 118-89 drubbing of LA. Tune in as the guys have thoug...

The Lakers started ANOTHER back-to-back as the team played host to the Nuggets without Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. And with the Lakers starting off each half extremely strong, the Lakers built up large leads including up 30 in the second half. That allowed Luka Donic (31 points) and Austin Reaves (22) to feast on the Denver reserves in a 120-108 victory to move to 3rd place in the West. Tune in...

The Lakers come back for more as San Antonio drops by the Crypt and the Lakers are again finding themselves in another back-to-back. And with San Antonio also being beset by injuries, the Spurs proved to be no match for the Lakers as Austin Reaves put up 30 and Luka Doncic with a near triple-double as LA cruised in the second half to a 125-109 victory. Tune in as the guys recap the game, get you c...

The Lakers return home to the Crypt with some returning players as they look to get back in the win column against the Phoenix Suns. And with Luka Doncic, Jaxson Hayes, Gabe Vincent, and Dorian Finney-Smith all back in the rotation, the Lakers got off to a hot start and never looked back as they took a Sunday Afternoon cruise with a 107-96 victory over the Suns. Tune in as the guys from the Lakers...

The second game of the back-to-back takes the Lakers to Denver to face the Nuggets. And with SIX rotation players sitting out, it was up to Austin Reaves (37) and Dalton Knecht (32) to provide the offense as they held serve against the Nuggets for 47 minutes. But the final minute came down to mistakes and poor defense as the Lakers snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in a 131-126 loss to Denver...

The Lakers continued their road trip as they hobbled into Milwaukee to face Giannis and the Bucks. But Milwaukee feasted on the short-handed Lakers with hot shooting from 3 and Giannis Antetokounmpo taking over in the third quarter, even a Lakers career-high from Luka Doncic (45 points) and Austin Reaves' 28 could prevent the Lakers from being trounced by the Bucks 126-106. With their 3rd cons...

The guys are back as they preview the Lakers and Bucks on Thursday. They also talk about LeBron James flying home to LA to get further treatment of his groin injury.

The times are troubling but can the Lakers keep it together? Fin...

The Lakers, after Boston's disappointing loss, continue their road trip as the injury-riddled team limped into Brooklyn to face the Nets. But the Lakers did not get step-up games from Luka (8-26 shooting) and Austin Reaves (3-14 from the field), nor did they get a great effort on the boards (16 offensive rebounds for BKN) as they wasted good shooting games from Gabe Vincent (24 points, 6-9 fro...

With the disappointment in Boston behind them, the Lakers head to Brooklyn for a matchup with the Nets on Monday. But with several Lakers out with injury, does this mean the Lakers won't be able to remain a top seed in the West?

The Lakers started off their latest road trip by renewing their old rivalry against the Boston Celtics at the TD Garden. But things went from bad to worse as the Lakers have officially caught the injury bug with Rui and Jaxson Hayes out, LeBron James fell victim to a groin strain in the second half and not even a Luka Doncic-led (34 points) comeback could overcome the short-handed Lakers in a 111-...

The Lakers closed out the homestand by playing host to the New York Knicks on Thursday night. And with the Lakers possibly eying their upcoming game against the Celtics, it looked like a distracted team to close out the first half allowing star guard Jalen Brunson (39 points) to score at will. But it was the dynamic duo once again of Luka Doncic (32 points, 12 assists) and LeBron James (31 points,...

The Lakers on Sunday night finished off the double at the Crypt against their arch-rival, the Los Angeles Clippers.

After the tough game on Thursday, the Lakers once again hit the Crypto court, this time without Rui, as they face the Clippers in the first of two straight matchups at the Crypt. But leave it to birthday boy Luka Doncic (31 points) as he, LeBron James (28 points, 13 rebounds), and another spirited defensive performance gave Luka a birthday present with a 106-102 victory over the Clippers on Friday...

The Lakers look to continue their winning ways as they invite the Minnesota Timberwolves into the Crypto.com Arena on Thursday night. Boosted by a dominating 33-17 first quarter performance, the Lakers got just enough from LeBron (33), Austin Reaves (11-12 at the FT line 23 points), and combined 30 rebounds from Luka Doncic and James to stave off the T-Wolves and regain 4th place in the Western Co...
