The victory does not count for the Lakers' record, so they are still 14-9 in 23 games, which has them as the fifth seed in the Western Conference.
They are in the middle of a three-game winning streak and 7-3 over their last ten games.
Now that the tournament is over, the Lakers will play their next game on Tuesday evening when they visit the Dallas Mavericks in Texas.
