Doncic’s Unbelievable 60-Point Explosion Sparks MVP Buzz and Lakers’ Championship Dreams—Can He Deliver?
Despite LA’s recent surge, they still have to overcome a strong precedent. More than 90% of teams that went on to win the NBA Finals followed Phil Jackson’s rule of winning 40 games before they lost 20.
The Lakers only had 32 wins under their belt when they lost their 20th games on Feb. 9. They went 13-5 in the time since.
Looking to the playoffs
If the current standings hold, the Lakers would face the Nuggets in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. A win in that series would advance them to take on, presumably, the San Antonio Spurs, before meeting the Thunder in the Conference Finals.
