The Los Angeles Lakers will play at home tonight to host the Dallas Mavericks. They have three more games to prove themselves and to avoid finishing with the worst record in franchise history.
The Lakers are now 5-17, since the start of March, and their victories have come from teams below .500. They did, however, pull of a win against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night. Coach Byron Scott offered the following inspiration about the team, as reported by ESPN.com:
“Just like in any situation, you’re going to see some bright spots. And we’ve been able to see that,” coach Byron Scott said. “I think I’ve made it pretty clear to our guys that there is still something to play for — not the playoffs, or anything like that, but just pride and just being a professional and a competitor. That’s the bottom line.”
Jeremy Lin is still out for the team.
The Mavericks are currently sitting at number 7 in the West, but their defense hasn’t been their shining star. On average they have allowed 118.8 points a game, and they let go of 69 points in the second half of their 144-143 win to Denver.
Let’s go Lakers!
