Luke Walton, Lakers are seeking a positive ID: As the picture starts to clarify, it’s Coach Luke Walton’s philosophy that it follows. On Sunday night at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, Walton worked to hammer home some of those points during the Lakers’ 124-115 win over the Denver Nuggets. He wanted a strong defensive performance. He wanted to limit fouls. He wanted active ball movement. And even though these games don’t count yet, he wanted a win. Whatever the identity is of this team as it claws out of the basement of the NBA standings, it can’t be about losing.
