With another impressive win against a quality opponent, the Utah Jazz (19-15), the Los Angeles Lakers have now secured their status as the NBA’s best team. The Lakers beat the Jazz 113-100 Friday night for their fifth straight win and 17th in 18 home games, while the other top two teams in the league also…
L.A. Times: What a weird, wacky thing the NBA schedule can be. As sure as the Lakers rushed back from a four-game, five-night trip to play the Boston Celtics on Christmas Day, they are in the midst of the NBA equivalent of a bye week, with four full days between a romp over Golden State…
Funny what effect a big win has in the sports business. After the Los Angeles Lakers dispensed with the Boston Celtics in La La Land on Christmas Day, talks of big trades and free agent acquisitions faded like a Venice Beach sunset.

The Lakers looked sloppy once again on both ends of the court, and Rambis was not afraid to let FSN reporter Michael Eaves know it at halftime: Overall,…
Lakers Examiner: As much as everyone in L.A. would like to see it, the Lakers aren’t going to go 82-0. So now the question is, when will the Lakers pick up their first loss of the season? The Lakers are 4-0 with wins against sub-par teams: the young and Oden-less Trail Blazers, the chemistry-less Clippers…
With a couple days off until their Wednesday’s game against the Clippers the Lakers were able to celebrate Saturday’s 104-97 win with a day off yesterday. Kobe Bryant did a lot of Kobe Bryant type things in the fourth quarter. 14-points in the final quarter carried the team, while Andrew Bynum (and pretty much everyone…
