With this win, the Lakers (45-33) will temporarily jump the Sacramento Kings (44-33) for No. 8 in the West. That is the highest the Lakers have been in the standings since Dec. 29, 2023 — the last time they were No. 8 in the West.

A very good win for the Lakers. Back home after a long trip, a funky early Saturday tip, playing a Cavs team with seeding motivations of their own, cough up a double-digit lead in the 3rd Q, storm back to run away with it 116-97. LAL is 45-33 and winners of 9 of 10.

Lakers get the W over the Cavs 116-97 in a rare Saturday matinee matchup after a long & grueling 5-1 road trip for the Lakers & now they sit alone in 8th in the West. Bron/AD/DLo combined for 74pts. 18pts from Taurean Prince as well. Good win against a good Cavs team #LakeShow pic.twitter.com/hOQkpyDzEg

Lakers win 116-97 against the Cavs. Real strong statement to move to 8th coming off a six-game trip. LAL shot 56.3 percent from the field, held Donovan Mitchell to 4-13 shooting and just 10 points.

If only they’d sucked less during the middle of the season . . .
