But since he got th...

Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers - March 30, 2024 07:00 - 12 minutes ★★★★ - 1.5K ratingsIn Memphis, the Lakers couldn't miss. Friday in Indiana? How does 16.7% from three point range sound. They held a Pacers team that hung 145 on them at the Crypt a week or so ago to 109 points, but because they only scored 90 themselves, the game was a runaway. Or ended up that way, at least, b...

Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers - March 28, 2024 04:46 - 35 minutes ★★★★ - 1.5K ratingsWas it a perfect game? Not as much as a 136-124 score might indicate. At one point in the third quarter, the Lakers pushed their lead to 27, creating a potential opportunity for the starters to rest for basically the entire fourth quarter. Instead, Rui Hachimura had to continue his scintillating...

Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers - March 25, 2024 08:35 - 34 minutes ★★★★ - 1.5K ratingsOne figured this would be a high-scoring night, given how the Indiana Pacers have arguably the best offensive team in the NBA all season, the Lakers have morphed over the course of the year into a juggernaut in their own right, and neither team should brag about their defenses of late.

Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers - March 17, 2024 05:28 - 16 minutes ★★★★ - 1.5K ratingsAs far as Saturdays go, this was not a good one for the Lakers.

And it puts the Lakers in...
