The Los Angeles Lakers are over .500? They’re 5-4 on the season? Yes, it’s still early on but compared to how trash they were just one year ago, this seems refreshing. The young core is starting to play together consistently and the team is willing their way to victory.
One of the unsung heroes of the season so far is Timofey Mosgov. While this guy took a lot of heat in the offseason for being signed to a $64 million contract, he’s at least been playing like he’s worth the price tag. Who expected that to happen?
On this play, Larry Nance Jr. dished him the rock and he gave it to Brandon Ingram for the give-and-go. Ingram easily set him up for the alley oop, which he caught with one hand and threw it down.
After being down 19 points, the Lakers actually came back on the road against the Sacramento Kings and won the game by 10 points. That’s a 29 point swing for the game.
DeMarcus Cousins was so heated, him and Julius Randle saw each other after the game to exchange words.
Lou Williams led all Lakers scorers with 21 points, while Randle had 15, D’Angelo Russell finished with 17 and Jordan Clarkson 16 on the night. Cousins had 28 points and 9 rebounds for the Kings.
FINAL: LAL 101 | SAC 91
