**Los Angeles, CA** – The Los Angeles Lakers are on fire, extending their winning streak to seven games after a decisive 136-115 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans Tuesday night. The team’s remarkable turnaround is largely attributed to the blockbuster trade that brought Luka Dončić, Maxi Kleber, and Markieff Morris to Los Angeles on February 2nd.
Since the acquisition, the Lakers boast an impressive 11-2 record. Dončić, in particular, has been a catalyst, averaging 22 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.8 steals in his first eight games with the team. He capped off his recent strong performances with a 30-point double-double against the Pelicans. His impact has propelled the Lakers to second place in the Western Conference, a half-game ahead of the Denver Nuggets.
The Lakers’ momentum continues with a highly anticipated nationally televised matchup against the New York Knicks this Thursday, March 6th, at 10 p.m. ET on TNT. The team will look to extend their winning streak and solidify their position in the Western Conference playoff race.
