After the Lakers had won back-to-back games at Denver on Tuesday night and at Utah on Wednesday night, Caldwell-Pope credited his teammates for sticking with him during his down periods. “I’ve got real brothers in the locker room,” Caldwell-Pope said. “They helped me get through it. Even though it was a lot on myself, they helped me get through it. I have a bunch of guys who have been through that, especially that No. 1 guy has been through that — LeBron (James) has been through criticism his whole career. So he talked to me a little bit. ‘There’s nothing to worry about. Just play.’ ”
