The Lakers are rolling with the National Basketball Association’s best win-loss slate, thanks to a November run in which they lost only once in 15 outings. Not coincidentally, that setback, courtesy of the surprisingly resilient Raptors, came three weeks ago, as good an indication as any that they learned -- and managed to move on -- from it, pronto. Their 17-2 record to date is a franchise best equaled or surpassed only twice before, and includes an ongoing 10-match win streak last seen when the purple and gold marched to a successful title defense in 2010. In other words, they’re playing extremely well, and certainly chasms apart from their immediate past performances.

Yesterday’s other highly anticipated return to the homecourt of a former team was scuttled due to an injury to Kyrie Irving. Not that he dreaded the prospect of facing the Celtics on the road in light of all the ill feelings that accompanied his foray into free agency; it was his seventh straight missed match since he suffered from a sore shoulder, an absence announced earlier in the week. To be sure, the development was prompted in part by the Nets’ success without him; considering that they had lost a mere set-to, he didn’t need to rush his convalescence.
