February 14th News: Lakers head coach Darwin Ham was interviewed before the game.
Regarding the team's goal of entering the top six to avoid the play-in tournament, Ham said, "Absolutely. We definitely want to finish the schedule in the best possible way. Yesterday, before we entered the practice facility, we watched some footage, and at the end of the footage, we put up a slide showing different scenarios for the final 28 games, and the target record we need to achieve to accomplish the goals we're trying to achieve - whether it's avoiding playing two play-in games or ultimately securing a playoff spot. Do we want to go 28-0? Hell yeah. But is that possible? Hell no. So, it's about keeping it realistic. So you just try to aim at different scenarios and put it in front of them, so they can start thinking about it in their minds: 'Okay, going into the break, we have to be strong. After the rest, we have to go all out and move towards achieving this goal.'"
The Lakers will host the Pistons at 11:30.
