The Lakers beat the Utah Jazz and put an end to their losing streak. Maybe things will take a different turn now. Vogel is definitely an optimist. He knows that his players can accomplish a lot despite all the shortcomings. He even admitted that things weren’t really easy with all the injured players on the floor.

In one of his most recent convo with the media, Vogel said this has been an up-and-down stretch of the regular season. Players struggled in the first half, but these losses will definitely motivate them to do better in the second half of the game. Vogel is working with a lot versatile players. His 2021-22 group is different than before and players need more time to fit in the system.

Hopefully, AD will return to the floor in the near future. He feels great and his teammates will definitely love to see him around again. Davis has a key role in LA and the front office rewarded him with a big deal.
