Frank Vogel was satisfied with the performance of the Los Angeles Lakers on the Christmas Day victory over the Dallas Mavericks (115-138).

Vogel, the head coach of the Lakers, said his players had extra motivation following loss to the Clippers in season opener.

“Our guys had a motivated spirit after the game one loss. “We have a lot of offensive firepower,” Vogel told reporters after the game.

This was the first win of the season for the defending champions (1-1).
