Marshall: "not fun" the way LAL have played in last few games, that they were playing more as a team in Jan./early Feb. even through losses.

Vogel on the words he shared with Evan Turner: "Told him to go out there and be himself.”

Evan Turner and Lavoy Allen are on the winning side of a game for the first time since Jan. 29. Crazy.

#Lakers got throttled as expected but Kent Bazemore can play. He might make the roster for next season
