As a die-hard Lakers fan who’s seen my fair share of highs and lows, I must say that this season was quite the rollercoaster! The team started off strong against the Spurs, but losing AD to an injury really shook things up. The games against the Mavericks were a tough pill to swallow – I’ve never seen our boys struggle so much on both ends of the court.
This year’s projected performance of the Los Angeles Lakers, as simulated by NBA 2K25, offers an intriguing glimpse into how the game thinks the team will shape up. In the previous season, the Lakers managed a record of 47-35 and qualified for the playoffs. Unfortunately, their journey was cut short when they were eliminated by the Denver Nuggets in the first round in a best-of-seven series with a score of 4-1. Will they show improvement this time around? Let’s see what the simulation holds.

Based on predictions from NBA 2K25, the Los Angeles Lakers are projected to finish the regular season with a record of 48 wins and 34 losses. Before diving into their postseason performance, let’s explore how they managed to reach this point.
October – Los Angeles Lakers 2024-2024 Season Results According to NBA 2K25
In the 2024-2025 season, the Lakers had a rocky beginning with their record standing at 1-4 in October. Offensively, the team displayed impressive performance, yet their defense left much to be desired. They kicked off the year victoriously by overpowering Minnesota with a score of 111-103, but this was followed by a challenging five-game losing streak that put them behind early on.
| OPPONENT | SCORE | RECORD |
| Timberwolves | 111-103 | 1-0 |
| Suns | 100-115 | 1-1 |
| Kings | 97-102 | 1-2 |
| Suns | 109-111 | 1-3 |
| Raptors | 107-109 | 1-4 |
In terms of minutes played, points scored, and numerous other statistical aspects, LeBron James and Anthony Davis were the standouts for their team. However, it’s clear that other team members will have to step up their game significantly if the team aims to change its current situation.
November – Los Angeles Lakers 2024-2024 Season Results According to NBA 2K25
In November, the Lakers experienced some improvement, yet they continued to face difficulties. As previously stated, they kicked off the month with a defeat, stretching their losing sequence to five games. Nevertheless, the Lakers managed to win seven out of nine subsequent matches, resulting in an 8-7 record. However, as soon as things seemed promising, they suffered four consecutive losses, which brought them back below .500 at the end of the month.
| OPPONENT | SCORE | RECORD |
| Raptors | 106-121 | 1-5 |
| Pistons | 120-99 | 2-5 |
| Grizzlies | 112-102 | 3-5 |
| 76ers | 107-97 | 4-5 |
| Raptors | 106-112 | 4-6 |
| Grizzlies | 95-113 | 4-7 |
| Spurs | 113-99 | 5-7 |
| Pelicans | 116-113 | 6-7 |
| Jazz | 120-110 | 7-7 |
| Magic | 136-130 (OT) | 8-7 |
| Nuggets | 92-125 | 8-8 |
| Suns | 104-124 | 8-9 |
| Spurs | 94-99 | 8-10 |
| Thunder | 103-105 | 8-11 |
In this place, things haven’t changed much since October. Despite our offensive performance being good, we conceded more than 1,500 points over a 14-game span, which averages to around 110 points per game. But remember, the season is still young, and anything could happen.
December – Los Angeles Lakers 2024-2024 Season Results According to NBA 2K25
Due to some games yet to be played, not all matches mirror the true 2024-2025 season. To avoid waiting until December for confirmed lineups, we opted to play with the matchups provided by NBA 2K25’s MyNBA mode instead. The remaining portion of the season does indeed reflect the actual 2024-2024 schedule accurately.
In summary, the Lakers had a more successful month as they managed to balance their record. Notably, their defense showed improvement although there’s still room for further enhancement. Crucially, with LeBron scoring an average of over 27 points per game, the team’s offense is in capable hands. Lastly, we finally got a glimpse of Bronny James playing for two minutes against the Kings toward the end of the month.
| OPPONENT | SCORE | RECORD |
| Jazz | 114-96 | 9-11 |
| Timberwolves | 101-104 | 9-12 |
| Heat | 108-99 | 10-12 |
| Hawks | 108-111 | 10-13 |
| Trailblazers | 105-104 | 11-13 |
| Thunder | 101-111 | 11-14 |
| Kings | 113-117 | 11-15 |
| Kings | 103-100 | 12-15 |
| Kings | 108-101 | 13-15 |
| Pistons | 95-108 | 13-16 |
| Warriors | 101-90 | 14-16 |
| Kings | 112-98 | 15-16 |
| Cavaliers | 105-102 | 16-16 |
January – Los Angeles Lakers 2024-2024 Season Results According to NBA 2K25
To kick off the New Year, the Lakers notched a victory, pushing them above the .500 mark for the first time in the season. They then added two more wins, making their winning streak reach four games. This month also featured some crucial victories, such as a one-point triumph over the Celtics.
Indeed, Los Angeles experienced three tight games during the past month where the triumphant team emerged victorious by just a single point. Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that the defensive performance has shown noticeable improvement. In truth, they conceded more than 100 points in merely half of their matches this month, which is not flawless, but the Lakers appear to have settled into a stronger defensive groove.
| OPPONENT | SCORE | RECORD |
| Trailblazers | 106-96 | 17-16 |
| Hawks | 132-123 (OT) | 18-16 |
| Rockets | 120-103 | 19-16 |
| Mavericks | 95-114 | 19-17 |
| Hornets | 95-125 | 19-18 |
| Spurs | 104-91 | 20-18 |
| Spurs | 97-108 | 20-19 |
| Heat | 104-116 | 20-20 |
| Nets | 108-98 | 21-20 |
| Clippers | 86-119 | 21-21 |
| Wizards | 106-95 | 22-21 |
| Celtics | 98-97 | 23-21 |
| Warriors | 103-104 | 23-22 |
| Hornets | 118-101 | 24-22 |
| 76ers | 127-128 (OT) | 24-23 |
| Wizards | 104-91 | 25-23 |
Essentially, Davis and LeBron remain the standout players on their team, fortunately avoiding injuries so far.
February – Los Angeles Lakers 2024-2024 Season Results According to NBA 2K25
In February, the Lakers extended their winning streak by securing victories in their initial three matches, only to be defeated by the Pacers later on. During the first two months of the year, they managed a record of 16 wins and 11 losses as they strive to improve their overall standing. As of now, it appears challenging for the Lakers to surpass the Mavericks, who lead the league at the top position.
Despite battling for a playoff position, the Lakers appear to be gradually progressing each month, which seems to be propelling them closer to securing a spot in the postseason.
| OPPONENT | SCORE | RECORD |
| Knicks | 113-97 | 26-23 |
| Clippers | 111-106 | 27-23 |
| Warriors | 106-99 | 28-23 |
| Pacers | 109-116 | 28-24 |
| Jazz | 110-92 | 29-24 |
| Jazz | 110-112 | 29-25 |
| Trailblazers | 111-100 | 30-25 |
| Nuggets | 127-94 | 31-25 |
| Mavericks | 89-104 | 31-26 |
| Timberwolves | 108-99 | 32-26 |
| Clippers | 113-114 | 32-27 |
Here’s a rephrase of your sentence:
March – Los Angeles Lakers 2024-2024 Season Results According to NBA 2K25
The team’s March began dismally with a 77-97 defeat against the Clippers. Yet, they managed to win twelve games during that period and effectively secured a playoff position. They encountered numerous challenges along the way, as D’Angelo Russell had to sit out due to injury. Losing valuable depth players like him may not make headlines, but it certainly weakens the team.
Despite his absence, Los Angeles managed well, with LeBron James putting up impressive performances. We even had a glimpse of Bronny, but it was fleeting. He made one basket and provided an assist in the team’s 113-102 victory over the Grizzlies. However, what truly matters for L.A. is to secure a few more wins to guarantee a spot in the playoffs.
| OPPONENT | SCORE | RECORD |
| Clippers | 77-97 | 32-28 |
| Pelicans | 108-98 | 33-28 |
| Knicks | 109-94 | 34-28 |
| Celtics | 103-118 | 34-29 |
| Nets | 121-99 | 35-29 |
| Bucks | 119-73 | 36-29 |
| Nuggets | 95-123 | 36-30 |
| Suns | 116-112 | 37-30 |
| Bucks | 119-118 | 38-30 |
| Nuggets | 108-107 | 39-30 |
| Bulls | 77-106 | 39-31 |
| Magic | 100-95 | 40-31 |
| Pacers | 117-105 | 41-31 |
| Bulls | 113-112 | 42-31 |
| Grizzlies | 113-102 | 43-31 |
| Rockets | 105-94 | 44-31 |
April – Los Angeles Lakers 2024-2024 Season Results According to NBA 2K25
Despite a rough three-game losing spell right in the heart of the month, I managed to help my team, the Lakers, snatch the fifth spot for the NBA Playoffs. We kicked off the month with two consecutive victories and ended it on a high note with another pair of wins, narrowly outshining Sacramento to secure that 5th seed.
Similar to last year, the season wasn’t particularly attractive, but L.A. managed to secure a postseason spot and evade the Play-In tournament. This time, however, they are facing the San Antonio Spurs, who have surprised everyone with their impressive performance this season. Could they triumph over San Antonio, whose team is now spearheaded by second-year phenom Victor Wembanyama?
| OPPONENT | SCORES | RECORD |
| Warriors | 110-99 | 45-31 |
| Pelicans | 104-99 | 46-31 |
| Thunder | 108-114 | 46-32 |
| Thunder | 86-107 | 46-33 |
| Mavericks | 105-116 | 46-34 |
| Rockets | 120-93 | 47-34 |
| Trailblazers | 103-93 | 48-34 |
NBA Playoffs First Round – vs. #4 San Antonio Spurs
| GAME | SCORE | SERIES |
| 1 | 101-91 | 1-0 |
| 2 | 88-103 | 1-1 |
| 3 | 93-104 | 1-2 |
| 4 | 122-106 | 2-2 |
| 5 | 133-127 (OT) | 3-2 |
| 6 | 108-85 | 4-2 |
Initially, the Lakers stormed ahead in this competition, but the Spurs managed to grab a swift 2-1 advantage. Despite this, LeBron rallied, scoring an impressive 33 points per game on average to propel the Lakers past the Spurs. However, there emerged a significant challenge that the Lakers now needed to confront.
Could the Lakers manage to outplay the top-seeded Mavericks given that Anthony Davis is sidelined due to an ankle injury and will be out for at least the upcoming rounds?
NBA Playoffs QuarterFinals – vs. #1 Dallas Mavericks
| GAME | SCORE | SERIES |
| 1 | 88-118 | 0-1 |
| 2 | 95-114 | 0-2 |
| 3 | 90-125 | 0-3 |
| 4 | 104-107 | 0-4 |
In NBA 2K25’s prediction, it appears that the Los Angeles Lakers are set to face defeat at the hands of the Dallas Mavericks during the Quarterfinals of the NBA Playoffs. The team has been significantly impacted by Anthony Davis’ injury, struggling both offensively and defensively throughout the game. Additionally, LeBron James has not been performing at his best, with an average of only 23 points per game in this series.
Despite surpassing their previous season’s progress, the Lakers were aiming to return to the NBA Finals once more. As long as LeBron maintains his All-Star form, the team has a strong chance of making a significant run this year. Regrettably, NBA 2K25 doesn’t seem optimistic about their chances of reaching that far.
Summing up, here’s a recap of the Los Angeles Lakers’ 2024-2025 season as simulated by NBA 2K25. We trust you found this intriguing! We’re already eager for the next thrilling NBA Season, set to tip off in October.
