Steve Nash says Los Angeles Lakers must play “desperate”

Los Angeles Lakers guard Steve Nash returned to the starting lineup Saturday night versus the Golden State Warriors after missing 24 games due to a leg injury, giving fans a Christmas present early this year.

However, Steve Nash is not giving off a warm and fuzzy feeling regarding the Los Angeles Lakers current predicament. Steve Nash spoke after practice on Monday saying,

“Hopefully, we can continue to win. We’ve won four in a row and we can keep this going and put ourselves back in contention, but we should be a desperate team right now.”
