The rough run of three consecutive back-to-backs is due in part to the Los Angeles wildfires, which caused the NBA to reschedule the Lakers' Jan. 11 game vs. the San Antonio Spurs to March 17. As such, the Lakers play March 13 and 14, 16 and 17, and 19 and 20.

Coming off two ugly losses, LeBron James took matters into his own hands to get the Los Angeles Lakers back on track with a dominant outing in Thursday's 110-102 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.
