And to show how hard it is in the NBA to make up games.....even with the win, LA doesn't make a dent in catching up with Portland, Houston and Utah. It's still status quo as those 3 teams have won their games as well.
In the east, even w/ NY having a 5 game win streak, they still can't catch Miami for the best record in the East. Boston behind the Bucks by only 1.5 games for the 7th seed, still can't catch Mil even w/ a 4 game win streak.
Lakers just need to win as many games as they can then bahala na si Batman.
Making the playoffs is really out of their hands.
