00:00Seven straight wins for the Los Angeles Lakers.

00:04They dropped their first game even as a double-digit home

00:07favorite against the Hornets following the All-Star break

00:10and ever since then seven straight victories last night

00:14by 21, 136, 115 at home in LA against the New Orleans Pelicans.

00:20The Lakers cover as a nine-point home favorite.

00:23The Lakers get a combined 64 points out of LeBron who had 34

00:28and Luka who had 30 and a plus-minus of plus 37.

00:33Also in the game LeBron James scoring his 50,000th point

00:38and then a couple more after that the first ever to get

00:42to 50k combining the regular and postseason a historic night

00:47in Los Angeles and a Red Hot Lakes show team in downtown LA.

00:52Yeah, it was pretty good performance by them because again

00:54just beating a bad basketball team is one thing and the

00:56Pelicans dropped the 6 and 26 on the road.

00:58I actually thought the Pelicans were a decent play last night

01:00getting close to double digits.

01:02They said, you know what Zion's healthy.

01:04He'll be back in the lineup.

01:05He did play 26 minutes went 17 of 23 from the floor a plus 13

01:09and 37 total points.

01:10I understand the magnitude of what Zion did last night.

01:13Everybody in the starting line at the rest of them minus 29

01:16minus 29 minus 25 minus 11.

01:18He was plus 13, but you can't play the whole basketball game

01:20at this point because you just worried about him getting

01:22injured late in the season in a throwaway year, but focus

01:25on the Los Angeles Lakers things are starting to measure

01:29even without a true big man.

01:30Now, if you're going to get Luka Doncic 30 points in LeBron

01:33James 34, that's the big two everybody else will feed off

01:37of those guys here shooting 53% as a team from the floor

01:4037% from three-point range and close to 78% from the free

01:44throw line.

01:45That's how it's done here.

01:46I'm looking forward to the Lakers when they start to step

01:48up in class and competition because some of these games

01:50they're playing against teams.

01:51They should be and rightfully so they are beating.

01:53Let's see the Los Angeles Lakers in that elevated spot over

01:56the next what 10 to 15 games and really see if they can

01:59press the needle down and secure that number two overall

02:02seed in the Western Conference.
