Sitting at 19-22, the Lakers have officially reached the halfway point of what has already been a rollercoaster of a season.
After tumbling out of the gates with their 2-10 start, the team has impressively rebounded of late, and in the process, thrust themselves back into playoff contention. As of this article, the team is just a game out of the play-in and only four out of preserving a home-court advantage within a potential first round series.
Although they were initially left for dead, the Lakers are very much still alive and kicking. However, if the team plans to propel themselves further in the standings and beyond, it will be up to their front office to prove they also possess a pulse.
