Along with the Indiana Pacers in the East, the Los Angeles Lakers became the first two teams to reach the quarterfinals of the NBA In-Season Tournament thanks to being undefeated in the group stage.

On the day LeBron James created a miracle by reaching the milestone of 39,000 points scored in his entire career, the Los Angeles Lakers team rejoiced with a strong 131-99 victory at home at Crypto.com Arena.

This result helped the purple-yellow team secure first place in Group A of the NBA In-Season Tournament, becoming the first Western team to enter the quarterfinals.

Also this morning in the East, the Indiana Pacers did the same thing by overcoming the Atlanta Hawks with a crazy score of 157-152 (no overtime).

The NBA In-Season Tournament comes at the right time for the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Regular Season is not starting well with only 3 wins in 8 matches and experiencing 3 consecutive defeats, LeBron James and his teammates seem to have transformed in the group stage matches of the In-Season Tournament.

The yellow and purple shirt team defeated the Phoenix Suns, Memphis Grizzlies, Portland Trail Blazers, and today the Utah Jazz to lock in first place in the table. In addition to the victories in the Regular Season, the Los Angeles Lakers are reviving with a total record of 9-6.

Calling the Lakers a complete transformation in the In-Season Tournament is because, from their unstable form, they switched to winning in the cup tournament with each win having a different score.
