Since the All-Star break the Los Angeles Lakers have been on a tear throughout the league. Posting a leagues best, (15-1) record since the break, the Lakers are in playoff mode. With the lone loss to the Miami Heat 94-88 on the road, the Lakers have completed their schedule against the Eastern Conference. The Lakers during the streak moved in second place in the Western Conference and four games behind San Antonio with nine remaining. It seems like a long shot for first place, but the driving mode has been to post the best record possible before the season's end. At (53-20) they have the league's third best record and only one game behind the Chicago Bulls (53-19) for second place. If they could swap places, it would leave the Lakers with Home court advantage barring they make it to the Finals. With improved play from Ron Artest, Andrew Bynum and a new surge from Kobe Bryant the Lakeshow is in Full effect.
