The next game for the Lakers is against the Pelicans, a team that sits just below Los Angeles in the Western Conference standings. It could be a potential rehearsal for a play-in game between these two teams.
Russell Westbrook was asked about the upcoming Pelicans game. “I think if we have our mind set in the right place and do what we’ve been doing playing the right proper basketball, I think we put us in position to be able to win a game,” he said after the Sixers loss.
“It’s going to be a playoff-type atmosphere for us because it’s definitely a must win I believe for our group.”
