The Lakers now have matched their win total from the previous season with Frank Vogel

The Los Angeles Lakers got a new victory against the Toronto Raptors and now have a three-game winning streak thanks to the team's depth after the trades.

Anthony Davis didn't have the best night, as the Raptors double-teamed him, but the rest of his teammates stepped up and gave the vital win to the purple and gold, and now they have shown they are a better team than the one that started the season.

The changes to the roster were on point as they addressed the team's issues, and now it has become the strongest defense, and by winning Friday's night game, the Lakers have now matched their win total from last season.

In the 2021-2022 season, the Frank Vogel Lakers ended with a 33-49 record. At this 2022-23 campaign, the Darvin Ham Lakers sit on a 33-34 record with 15 games left. The team will end with a way better record than last year unless a tragedy occurs, and they lose every single game left.

The Lakers are still in the 9th seed but just one game away from the 6th one

The Western Conference is in the middle of the battle for the playoffs and Play-In spots; at the moment, the Lakers are in the Play-In if the regular season ended today, but they still have a chance to make it straight to the playoffs as they are only one win away from the 6th seed, the Dallas Mavericks.
