洛杉磯湖人本賽季季後賽在稍早結束，又再次的被Jamal Murray投進絕殺球，連續兩年季後賽都被金塊隊擋了下來，賽後總教練Darvin Ham也針對本場比賽給出回應。
Darvin Ham said there were "some unfortunate circumstances" with AD getting hurt, needing to use a challenge and timeouts early, missing free throws, lack of rebounding, etc. that hurt the Lakers tonight but he also gave credit to Denver.

Ham首先針對這場比賽，他表示有些「不幸運」的狀況，AD提早受傷用掉暫停，需要挑戰也用掉暫停，錯失了一些罰球和籃板，這傷害湖人整個下半場，不過還是要給金塊隊在整個系列賽肯定。
談到湖人要如何在接下來賽季進步，Ham說：「保持健康，因為傷兵所以球隊頻頻要調整陣容，調度陣容才是次要的，最主要是保持健康。」
Darvin Ham on the key for the Lakers moving forward:

"Stay healthy. You take a lot of flak for your rotations and all of that. Rotations are secondary. The primary is health."
He feels a lot of injuries early in the season didn't allow them to build continuity.
湖人球迷最在意的動向，Ham也說：「我會繼續工作，繼續變得更好，控制我所能控制的。」
Darvin Ham says he will "continue to work and get better and control what I can control" when discussing his future.

Ham也形容他這兩年的工作，形容就是：「地獄」；Ham說：「這兩年在這個位置上太「痛苦」了，我可以這樣說，這兩年就像是地獄一樣。」
Darvin Ham: “It’s been a hell of a two years sitting in this seat, I’ll tell you that. It’s been a hell of a two years.”
