Los Angeles dominated the competition
As it appears, it looks like Ron Artest is becoming to be a great addition to the Los Angeles Lakers more than many expected.
The Lakers are currently riding a seven game winning streak, but despite crushing over losing teams that cannot defend for themselves, the Lakers are winning the games by double digits.
Normally what would be a taboo for Laker fans, the Lakers never really finished games off once they had a big lead in the beginning of the game.
Now that they have Artest assisting Kobe Bryant on duties to defend the other team's best player, the Lakers are locking down their opponents and finishing out games by not allowing teams to creep their way back in.
The Lakers have not given up 100 points in the seven games they won and all of them have been won by 10 or more points.
The team is now 14-3 and currently has the best record in the NBA.
The team has had a easy schedule thus far, but it has been getting the job down and winning games they should win but in big lopsided victories.
No one will really know for sure how good the team is with Ron Artest until mid January when they start to begin playing the elite teams like the Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic.
