With the Los Angeles Lakers mired in their longest losing streak in almost six years, coach Mike D'Antoni wants his team to solely focus on the moment.

Looking to avoid a seventh consecutive defeat, the banged-up Lakers hope a matchup with one of the league's worst teams can help turn things around as they host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday night.

Let's Go Lakers!!
Highlight of last game!

KEVIN DING @KevinDing

Dwight is waiting for Lakers doctor to show up to examine his shoulder and determine if he'll play tonight vs. CLE. Based on what Dwight said on the road about feeling better and sitting as a precaution, seems fairly likely he'll play, but we'll see.

we'll see

I mean it's good news. However, I still think Dwight should rest for another week or half.

If Dwight cannot stick 40/20 on this skinny white guy, he better send himself to the D-league.

howard throws the ball at the rim way to hard. Needs a softer touch
