The Los Angeles Lakers have emerged as one of the best teams in the NBA over the last month, going 11-3 since acquiring Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis. The team has had the best defense in the NBA and looks very tough to beat even though Doncic has struggled to adjust instantly with rough shooting nights.

The Los Angeles Lakers and visiting Charlotte Hornets will return from the All-Star break earlier than previously planned when the teams meet for a make-up game Wednesday. Originally scheduled for Jan.

At this point, it's really no secret that Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic was just as shocked as the rest of us to learn he had been traded away from his presumed forever franchise the Dallas Mavericks.
