Darvin Ham's Bold Quote Going Viral During Lakers-Warriors Game
USA TODAY Sports

On Wednesday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers are taking on the Golden State Warriors at the Chase Center in San Francisco for Game 5 of their second-round playoff series.  

After Game 4, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr shared a surprising quote about the Lakers that gained a lot of attention.

Kerr after Game 4: "The Lakers are a team that plays with a lot of gamesmanship. They understand how to generate some calls. I thought they took some flops and were rewarded. I'll have to see the replays. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe those were all illegal screens, but it didn't feel like it watching it live."

During Game 5, Lakers head coach Darvin Ham was interviewed by Chris Haynes on the TNT broadcast, and had a bold quote that appeared to be an indirect response to Kerr. 

Ham: "We don't teach flopping. We teach our players to play downhill and attack the paint and be forceful."
