Lakers News: Why LA Players See Commonalities Between 2023, 2024 Seasons

In this story:

The Los Angeles Lakers have gone 9-1 over their last 10 games, giving them some real momentum with the postseason starting up soon. Despite their hot run, the team has barely moved up in the standings, going from the 9th seed to the 8th.

The Western Conference is absolutely loaded this season, but the Lakers remain one of the more respected teams across the league. Just like last year, this team seems to be clicking at the right time, and another potential deep playoff run may be in the cards.

Many of the players that were on the roster last season are sending a similar feeling. Like this year, the Lakers went on a hot streak to end the year, helping to propel them to the postseason.

The team only has four games remaining on the schedule, but they control their destiny. Right now, they would have two chances to make the official playoff bracket, so as long as they take care of business, they will stay that way. However, this team has struggled with inconsistent play all season, so the hope is that it doesn't rear its ugly head again.

Los Angeles has found different ways to win games, namely with their defensive approach. If they can keep this up, they will once again be a very tough team to face in the playoffs.
