Lakers’ Scott to Bench Players for Not Playing Defense

Los Angeles Lakers coach Byron Scott said he wants the team’s young players to progress at a faster rate — or they’ll be sitting on the bench.
“I think when you make a mistake over and over again, sometimes that wood has a good way of talking to your butt a little bit, too,” Scott said Friday before the Lakers’ 104-98 win over the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center. “Getting a couple splinters here and there, sometimes that has a great way of communicating how important it is to play on that [defensive] end of the floor.”
The Lakers entered Friday’s game ranked last in the NBA in defensive efficiency.
