Lakers coach Ryan Malmin said mistakes, once again in the late innings, cost the Lakers a victory and a sweep.

“They are self-induced,” he said of the errors.

“Some of that comes with the inexperience we have at the AA level. We only have three starters back. But at this point of the season, it’s time to nut-up and compete,” he said.

Malmin added that the mistakes “are fixable.”
