Lonzo Ball had a coming out party in this game
Lonzo Ball came out with some energy that I haven’t seen before. Ball played like he was a star! Look if there are any quotes from his father, LaVar Ball…let’s all let it go for a least this game!

Lonzo Ball had his first triple-double of the season, scoring 16 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. But this game was a little different. He played with a TON of confidence. Lakers fans, watch this…

First, he set Kemba Walker up shading him against LeBron who came with the pick. Lonzo went between the legs and froze Nic Batum and took off! Cody Zeller thought he was going to block the shot. Then he made a life decision to get out-of-the-way and Lonzo dunked on him.
What I like was the pose afterwards. He just looked at the camera like he does it all the time! No jumping around! No yelling and screaming! Just savor the moment for a second and go back down the floor.
How about the defense…

Remember the importance of setting the tone? It happens right here. Cody Zeller brings the ball up and gets it swiped by Lonzo Ball and he goes back the other way for the dunk.
But it was about history in this game and it needs to be celebrated! Congratulations fellas!
