ANAHEIM, Calif. -- It's still the preseason, but after a third straight lopsided loss, this one by 33 points, Los Angeles Lakers coach Byron Scott couldn't hide his frustration any longer.

After his team's 119-86 loss to the Utah Jazz on Thursday night at Honda Center, a visibly upset Scott said he told his players both at halftime and during postgame, "I'm going to find eight guys that's going to compete on both ends of the floor -- and that will be the eight that I roll with."

Scott added later, "That's all I need -- eight guys that's going to go out there and bust their butt every single night."

The Lakers lost by 41 points Sunday to Golden State, the team's second-largest exhibition loss since it started tracking preseason records in 1982.

The Lakers lost by 15 points in their preseason game before that.

They do have several key players injured, such as Jeremy Lin (ankle) and Steve Nash (back).

"We'll see better results once we get healthier," Scott said. "That, to me, is the bottom line. If we can get healthy, then I think we have a chance to assess where we are and what we need to do.

"But until then, we'll probably have another one like this. Or two."

When asked what he liked about the game, Scott said, simply, "That it's over."

• Nash said he wanted to play after tweaking his back carrying bags Wednesday, but he never left the locker room.

The 40-year-old point guard -- the oldest active NBA player -- has been plagued by injuries and played only 15 games last season because of it.

"I'm very concerned," said Lakers star Kobe Bryant, who scored a game-high 27 points on 23 field goal attempts.

"It just seems like he can't get going on a consistent basis. I understand how frustrating that is. It's extremely frustrating. But he's just got to stay at it and hopefully turn the corner."

• Rookie forward Julius Randle played in the first half but not the second, in part because of blisters on his heels, Scott said. Randle played 11 minutes, scoring four points.
