Nets center Brook Lopez says that the team isn't simply trying to reach the 10-win mark, which would allow them to avoid posting the worst record in NBA history.

The 76ers went 9-73 during the 1972-73 season.

"People keep asking: "Are you just trying to get to 10 wins? Is that your focus?" It'll be nice [to get there], obviously," Lopez told ESPN.com's Marc Stein.

"Hopefully that'll be soon, and hopefully there'll be a few more after that. We're trying to win as many as possible. We're not trying to just get to 10 and stop."

New Jersey is 7-62 through Saturday's action. They are on pace for just eight victories.

Nine of their 13 remaining games are against teams that are in the playoff hunt.
