Coach Luke Walton says Lakers have 'moved on' after veterans' criticism

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Los Angeles Lakers discussed the testy exchange between coach Luke Walton and several veteran players after L.A.'s Saturday loss in Golden State before turning the page to Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers.

"We address it, because that's how I believe our culture should be," Walton said following shootaround Tuesday morning. "We'll talk about everything that needs to be [brought up]. But it wasn't a big thing. We discussed it, moved forward."

Walton challenged his players to play more unselfish and be smarter with their execution after his team failed to protect at double-digit second half lead before eventually being thoroughly defeated by the Warriors.
