The Lakers have 22 games remaining after a big win over Golden State on Thursday, and the left-for-dead team suddenly looks like a playoff contender.
With the addition of Beasley, Russell, Vanderbilt and Mo Bamba — a seven-footer who had two three-pointers against Golden State — a new balance was brought to the court.
With seven of the last nine games against struggling Chicago, Minnesota, Houston and Utah, they could easily finish strong. The Lakers open the second half of the season driven to overcome their current No. 13 spot in the standings and earn a spot in the playoffs.
