'Strong belief' within Lakers that Byron Scott will not be fired

The Los Angeles Lakers finished their season with an unforgettable win and 60-point performance from Kobe Bryant. Lost in all the (justified) hoopla from the unbelievable night was that the victory was just Los Angeles' 17th of the season, their third consecutive season in the lottery, and their third consecutive season setting a new low for worst regular season record in franchise history.

The Lakers ranked second to last in the league in offensive efficiency and last in the league in defensive efficiency, both of which have led many to assume that Lakers head coach Byron Scott will be let go at some point this offseason.
