Halfway thru the 2013 NBA preseason, the Los Angeles Lakers look better than many expected even playing without 5-time NBA champion and 15-time All-Star Kobe Bryant.

The Sacramento Kings’ Keith Smart is taking a serious approach to the defensive work of his players. Statistically speaking, the story of the Kings 2011-2012 season was one of two extremes.
