Despite the disappointing results, after the latest win against Cleveland Cavaliers, Lakers legend Magic Johnson shared the optimistic message on Twitter.

"If the Lakers play with this type of effort, speed, and quickness on defense and offense, I think we could have a good playoff run. Especially with Anthony Davis coming back!” Johnson tweeted.

Last night Lakers grabbed a rare road victory, in which their star LeBron Jamesscored 38 points, notching another triple-double, and sparking memories of his time in Cleveland, leading Lakers to a 131-120 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

With the ninth-best record in the West, the Lakers are ahead of the 10th-place New Orleans Pelicans by one victory.
