The Los Angeles Lakers’ eight-game losing streak is finally over, and even if tonight’s 120-101 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder doesn’t mean anything, several members of the Purple and Gold played well.
The team is in a phase where it is looking to evaluate its young players in advance of the offseason when it will face some tough decisions as far as who is in and who is out.
For the first time in what seems like forever, the Lakers not only forged a big lead, but they held on to it and won easily.
Yes, it came against an extremely short-handed Thunder team that played a bunch of no-name players, but there may be a glimmer of hope for next season’s version of the Purple and Gold.
