Key Player Grades

B+. LeBron James led the team with 38 minutes. He finished the night with 24 points, 10 rebounds, and nine assists. James was also active on the defensive end with two blocks. He did shoot below 50 percent and only went to the line twice, but was still very effective on the floor. Bron played great but struggled to pass the ball and find good looks in the final minute of the game. If late-game free throws continue to be his Achilles’ heel, we hope that he can contribute with field goals or some nice assists. Still, a great performance by James.. SF. Los Angeles Lakers. LEBRON JAMES

A. Brandon Ingram has arrived. Since the end of his four-game suspension, Ingram easily had his best outing last night. The third-year pro finished the night with 20 points, five rebounds, and six assists. BI was also solid on the defensive end with a steal and two blocks. The best part of his game, however, was his efficiency. Ingram shot 57.1 percent from the floor, 66.7 percent from deep, and 100 percent from the charity stripe. Moreover, he had 12 points in the second half on 83.3 percent shooting. Lakers fans will gladly accept this BI every night.. SF. Los Angeles Lakers. BRANDON INGRAM
