There’s a simmering level of proactivity that has fueled the Lakers’ improved play of late. Gone is the passivity displayed to start the season, and in its place is something mean and boisterous. Those punches to the jaw and gut the team had to once withstand, are now haymakers thrown first.
There’s a kinetic force in their drives, ball-pressure and post-basket roars that are as contagious amongst the players as they are exhilarating to watch as a viewer. These Lakers move, they pursue and then detonate.
Winners of eight of their last ten games, the team is finally trending in the right direction after their 2-10 start.
