The Lakers continued the road trip on Friday night, with their next stop headed to Bourbon Street as they met up with the New Orleans Hornets.

The Lakers' big test on the road trip came as they strolled into Oklahoma City, where they faced off against the defending champion Thunder.

The Lakers cap off a great Los Angeles sports weekend with the first of a back-to-back, with game one being against the Miami Heat. And despite poor shooting from Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves (5-25) from deep, they still found a way to greatly impact the game as Luka's triple-double (29 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists) and Austin's Double-Double (26 points, 11 assists) helped keep the off...
