Los Angeles saw its losing streak extend to six games after suffering a 115-83 rout at the hands of the Dallas Mavericks on Friday.

After last night's game I am sure our players have some confidence now. However, the main thing is that they need to have enough energy for today's game which I know Yao has plenty of rests yesterday.
