Los Angeles Lakers hire Michael Spetner to become the newly-created Chief Strategy and Growth Officer of the Lakers.
Spetner previously served as the Dodgers VP of business strategy and analytics, working with new president of business operations Lon Rosen.
NEW: On a third consecutive win for the Lakers, one that coach JJ Redick calls something he hadn't seen from the team since November.
“Sometimes you got to win playing bad. That’s what good teams do."

The Lakers (37-24) claimed a 110-101 victory over the Pelicans on Tuesday night, their third consecutive victory that all but makes up for the three game losing streak that caused the world to fall, as Coach JJ Redick put it.
Doncic led the Lakers with 27.
Austin Reaves is hurt, holding his right wrist area, enough so that Redick calls timeout.

HALF: Lakers 54, Pelicans 51. LeBron James is five field goals away from the NBA record, surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He, and Luka Doncic have 16 points.
Austin Reaves has a rare goose egg from the field to go with two points.
Last 11 points (nine himself and an oop to Deandre Ayton, who needed that) are thanks to LeBron and the Lakers lead 42-35.

Lakers trail 33-31 after a fast-paced first quarter.
Luka Doncic leads the Lakers with 10 pts, while Trey Murphy III has 11 for the Pelicans.
NEW: File JJ Redick and Luka Doncic's mid-game heated interaction on Saturday in San Francisco as "very normal," at least, according to the Lakers coach, it was.

Luka Doncic is grabbing at his left knee, but it's partially trying to prove a point to the officials about contact and also Luka Doncic being Luka Doncic.
He's fine and hustling again.
Because I enjoyed JJ Redick being very curious about @thebenroyer.bsky.social question about play call rate and who and how that could be measure lol...

Call Chicken Little. The sky is falling.
At least, according to JJ Redick, the world has fallen 19 times.
The Lakers are getting back up — as shown through their combo of blowout wins since Sunday.
On that + lineup consistency. More on @ocregister.bsky.social:

Half: Lakers 64, Kings 49
For the most part, cruise control. Luka Doncic leads all scorers with 15 points. Lakers are shooting 51.2% from the field, making almost half (9/19) of their 3-point attempts so far.
The Kings are shooting 2 of 13 from beyond the arc. A big difference.
Per Lakers: With his third assist tonight versus Sacramento, LeBron James passed Michael Cooper (3,666) for fifth place in Lakers history.
4. Norm Nixon (3,846)
5. LeBron James (3,667)
6. Michael Cooper (3,666)
End of the 1st: Lakers 36, Kings 18
Lakers shooting 60.9% from the field, 50% from 3 early on with Luka Doncic leading the team with 12 points. Kings have turned the ball over six times already for eight Lakers points.
Lakers also have 16 points in the paint.
NEW: For all you South Bay Lakers enjoyers, wrote about Adou Thiero + spoke with the Lakers rookie ahead of Sunday's game.
On his growth, and how a teammate with a similar potential career progression has viewed the 21-year-old so far. On @ocregister.bsky.social:

It's all Lakers right now. Jaxson Hayes just dunked on Russell Westbrook on an alley-oop.
That's the vibe here in with the Lakers up 23-10.
