As the Lakers wrapped a treacherous run of schedule that had them stuck on the road more often than not, coach Darvin Ham looked ahead to the next game — a trip home to host the Boston Celtics on Christmas afternoon.
“We get a chance to see where we are,” Ham said after the Lakers beat Oklahoma City on Saturday. “We’ve had a tough past 30 days, but we get a chance to get home, spend a day at home with our families on Christmas Eve, wake up, open up some presents and get down to the Crypto and get ready to get busy.
