Lakers face big test against bruising post players on upcoming trip: The chatter grew louder as the Lakers’ frontcourt players fought in the paint. Lakers forwards Julius Randle and Tarik Black tried scoring without success. Lakers forward Thomas Robinson drove inside before his defender drew a charge. Finally, Randle scored on a later possession. These Lakers weren’t holding their own against a physical defender during Wednesday’s practice. Instead, they matched up against a retired NBA player who is now their coach. -- The Orange County Register
