Lakers now put focus on playoff push
The Los Angeles Lakers' 129-128 victory over the Boston Celtics on Thursday night had a healing effect. Players spent the week frustrated and tense, some hurt or worried about what their futures held.
On Friday, the Lakers set to work moving forward, turning their attention to what's been their goal all season long - getting back to the playoffs.
"My hope is our story is a little bit, maybe, like (the New England Patriots) where we're on the outside but we find a way to get in the playoffs with the skillsets we've added," Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka said.
