Lakers Focused on Goal

The Los Angeles Lakers are facing a 2-0 deficit in their series against the Dallas Mavericks, and those losses were picked up during two opening home games for the Lakers. Now, the Lakers will have to head to Dallas and face a hostile crowd in order to make headway in the series, but the Lakers aren’t buckling under the pressure.

Instead, they are forming a game plan to deal with all of the small details that need fixing in order to beat Dallas. After the last game, Andrew Bynum cited “trust issues” as a reason behind the failing, and those comments earned him criticism from former NBA great Magic Johnson. Other players didn’t see the comments as such a big deal. According to ESPN, coach Phil Jackson wants the team to look at the last for motivation. He explained, “We just had to pull them up and say, ‘Recall Orlando, recall Phoenix, recall some of these things that we’ve done in the past and maybe you guys will summon back some of the things that you’re familiar with.’”
