The Los Angeles Lakers may be starting to heat up a bit.
Despite not having LeBron James for the fourth straight game, they managed to administer a beat down of the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday, 123-92.
Los Angeles controlled this one from the start. It jumped to a 34-20 lead at the end of the first quarter and never looked back. Instead of getting complacent, it increased its advantage to 18 at halftime and 28 at the end of the third quarter.
This was all-around dominance from the Lakers, who shot 52.9% from the field and had 29 assists while holding San Antonio to just 39% field-goal shooting.
With three victories in a row, they now have their first true winning streak of the season and their first winning streak of at least three contests since early January of last season.
