Head coach Mike D’Antoni unleashed his small-ball style in earnest this year with the Houston Rockets. He’ll find out this offseason if he gets to continue with it. 

Following the Los Angeles Lakers’ Western Conference Semifinals series win over Houston on Saturday, D’Antoni’s status is uncertain, as his contract has expired. 

“We’ll see what happens, but I couldn’t ask for a better situation in the last four years,” D’Antoni told reporters after losing Game 5 119-96.

According to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, D’Antoni “definitely” wants to coach next year, whether in Houston or elsewhere.
