也有整理系列賽五戰的數據，儘管湖人領先分鐘數是金塊隊的三倍，但大比分仍由金塊4-1獲勝。

賽後金塊總教練Michael Malone就稱讚了Darvin Ham，表示Ham是一名了不起的教練，Malone說：「這不是一個簡單的工作，我認為Ham以專業的方式做到了，他是一個好人，好教練，我祝福他一切順利。希望他能夠在聯盟很長一段時間，因為他值得，也必須要給湖人團隊一個肯定，要贏他們並不容易。」

Michael Malone: “I think Darvin Ham is a hell of a coach. That’s not an easy job. I think Darvin does it with class. He’s a good man, good coach, and I wish him all the best. Hopefully, he’ll be around there for a long time because he deserves to be.” pic.twitter.com/PJsDU6qfMF
