The Lakers have racked up wins to start this season, sitting at a perfect 3-0 to open the campaign. Three games in and they are undefeated, a scorching start to the 2026 NBA season that has the league taking notice.
How They Got Here: Not Always Pretty
It hasn’t always been a smooth ride, even with the perfect record. Luka Doncic’s Lakers opened with a blowout victory against the Warriors. That was a statement. Then came a sloppy win against the Clippers, showing that they can pull out results even when not at their best. The third win was a true test, a comeback over the Jazz in Salt Lake City. So, a blowout, a grind-it-out, and a comeback. It proves they can win in different ways.
Undefeated, But Not Untroubled
While an 82-0 season is probably off the table, the source itself says “you can’t rule it out yet.” That’s the kind of energy this perfect start brings! But despite being flawless on paper, this undefeated run has already brought with it some serious questions. It’s a wild first week, and fans are already buzzing about what’s really going on behind the perfect record.
The season is just getting started, and it’s clear the Lakers are making noise. But with those questions looming, it’s going to be interesting to see how they tackle the challenges ahead. This story is just getting warmed up.
