Summary
The Lakers have a history of sudden falls from contention status, only to rise back up and vault themselves back into the conversation of the league's best teams in just as sudden a turn.

| 0:45.1 | our fall has been this season. |
| 0:47.3 | And one of the things from being a Laker fan, especially, because our rises and falls |
