Lakers earn first victory of season

Most

nights a game against a Western Conference foe means facing one of the league’s best teams, perhaps an All-Star guard, sometimes two, and a team with firepower to test even the most competent defence.

The Lakers’ game on Wednesday did not offer such a challenge. After beating the Phoenix Suns 131113, the Lakers are no longer winless. “It feels great, it’s a win, period,” LeBron James said. “I think we got better tonight and we want to try to continue that going forward.” (Los Angeles Times)
