Darvin Ham on the Lakers' 3-point shooting issues:

"In order to generate more 3s, we need to drive and kick more. And those guys that's catching it need to be in a position to be ready to shoot. Obviously, we gotta pass on time and on target. But guys gotta be willing to step up and prepare themselves when the ball finds them, and they have to be ready to be shot-aggressive to put it on the rim from 3-point land."

Same starting lineup

I wonder if he knows that it would be easier to get open threes if you ran an offense where the 4 guys off-ball actually have off-ball movement and don’t all just watch the guy dribbling the ball

Max Christie has always been a real one

so grateful for AD

AD on C Wood: “C Wood is someone who was out of the rotation, and stayed ready for his next opportunity. We told him to stay ready for his number. He’s scored 14 off the bench, and has played some good mins off the bench.”

Darvin Ham says Cam Reddish is getting looked at right now after taking a blow to the face.

Darvin Ham praises Anthony Davis’s efficiency and relentlessness: “You can tell that his body is feeling good.”

D’Lo might be UNDERutilized at this point

Darvin Ham when discussing Christian Wood being in and out of the rotation, says "I know there's been a lot of noise about rotations and minutes" and then gives some playful side eyes to the media in the room

D'Angelo Russell declined to speak to reporters postgame for the second consecutive game.

AD on his rhythm: “just doing everything I can help this team get to the other side (winning side). Everyone played well tonight. TP, C Wood, Cam.”

AD on his clutch free throws: “I had no pressure, felt comfortable and confident. Dennis was talking trash to me, so I had to make them on purpose. I know I missed some last season against Philly and Boston.”

AD on his mid range shot struggles in November: “I wasn’t shooting enough shots in November. Was more focused in the paint and the post. Just looking to shoot more shots, and be confident.”

C Wood on AD: “he’s my guy. Learns from me, just joking 😂. He’s a great guy and plays for his team no matter what they tell him, if he should sit or not. He loves his buckets just like me.”

LeBron James on Anthony Davis: "We knew we had an advantage in the interior tonight. Just tried to get it to him early, and often. And late. So that was my mindset all game."

"It's always a treat to see him go off like that."

Max Christie: “It felt good to be out there when it mattered the most.”
