LA finishes its 10-game January homestand 6-4. They improve to 23-23 overall.

They’re 6-6 in 2024 (w/ two of the losses coming on the road and without LeBron).

They will now go on their six-game Grammy road trip.

Up next: at Golden State on Saturday.

Darvin Ham attributed the Lakers' high assist total in recent games to the players committing to better pace. "Whether or not they're getting the ball, they're doing their job, creating space for their teammates. ... No one is walking ... Everyone is active in some type of way."

Darvin Ham on D'Angelo Russell:

"He's hungry. He's playing at a high level, it's beautiful to watch. A tear like this, we've needed all of it."

Darvin Ham again credited D'Angelo Russell for the "individual work" he's been putting in at the Lakers' practice facility.

Austin Reaves said the Lakers needed tonight's win going into their road trip.

"This one was big tonight to get some momentum."

D'Angelo Russell:

"I just try to complement LeBron and AD. If that's me shooting, facilitating, whatever that may be... I think the aggression is allowing me to have some success."

D'Angelo Russell:

"How about Vando tonight? Y'all gotta talk about Vando. Whatever y'all tweet, make sure you give Vando some love."

D’Angelo Russell on Jarred Vanderbilt

“When he’s healthy he’s a beast … any winning team needs a piece like that.”

Reporter: "D'Angelo, you look like you were hooping in your backyard tonight..."

DLo: "Talk to 'em."
