Lakers coach Byron Scott called his team “soft” four times after its 114-89 blowout loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday, the Lakers’ fifth straight defeat to their fellow Staples Center tenants.

“We were soft,” Scott said of his team, which trailed by as much as 43 points as the Clippers won for the ninth time in their past 10 meetings with the Lakers.

Scott said he had another message for his players, too.

“I told them to man up, basically,” he said.
