00:02 It's been a little bit dicey for the LA Lakers since winning the NBA Cup,

00:07 but they did snap a little bit of a slide on Sunday night.

00:11 A victory in the Battle of LA over the Clippers.

00:14 It was the first for the Lakers in a while, and

00:17 they had lost nine of their last 12 games entering Sunday night

00:21 since winning the NBA in-season tournament.

00:24 A victory last night at home against Toronto, but it was tight.

00:29 132-131, 86 combined points in the fourth quarter, Donny,

00:33 between the Raptors and the Lakers who win by one, but

00:37 do not cover as a four and a half point home favorite.

00:41 >> Yeah, a lot of anger there from the coaching staff for the Toronto Raptors

00:44 because of the parade to the free throw line in the fourth quarter for

00:47 the Los Angeles Lakers.

00:48 But sometimes when you get to the rim, you got superstar players,

00:51 you're going to get the call.

00:52 That's a good win by the Lakers cuz yesterday coming in, so it's like, look,

00:55 the Lakers have really folded up shop since that in-season tournament.

00:58 But you did get that win, as you said, on Sunday night.

01:00 Now you got another win against the Raptors.

01:02 You wanna try to build on something next for the Lakers?

01:05 Get over 500, as they currently sit, 19-19.

01:08 Anthony Davis was awesome last night, 41 points, 11 rebounds,

01:11 six assists, and a block there.

01:13 That's tremendous.

01:13 You gotta lean on your big guys here, but the same thing goes as follows.

01:16 You're barely winning basketball games with guys like Anthony Davis playing 40

01:20 minutes a night.

01:21 We know how that turns out here.

01:22 But by the way, yesterday, I thought LeBron James, that was my play last night.

01:26 Over two and a half three-point shots made at a nice plus price, a plus 136.

01:30 Only made two of those.

01:31 So I did lose my wager in that game, but LeBron James and

01:34 his Lakers won that basketball game.

01:36 Maybe things can start to look up.

01:37 Two games turns into three, four, and five.

01:39 Now we're no longer talking about a team tanking outside of the in-season

01:43 tournament, Ben.
