Xavier Henry has admitted that the Los Angeles Lakers players are still trying to adjust to life with each other on the court.

The Lakers claimed a tense victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday night despite leading by 21 points at one stage during the game, and Henry claims that the team need more time to gel.

"We're still trying to find the right combinations and rack up the wins while we do it," the former Kansas Jayhawks guard told reporters.

"We have a lot of new guys, and a lot of guys still need to learn how to play with each other. We're trying new lineups and stuff, so we're still going to be working and trying to compete."

Henry has averaged 13 points in his first three games of the season.
