– LeBronzo looks good again
With the Lakers a bit thin without Ingram and Rondo, they have been asking a lot out of LeBron James and Lonzo Ball. Even though he had a tough game against the Wizards, LeBron bounced back with a vintage game. In the loss, James totaled 36 points, 13 rebounds, and eight assists. James was able to score his 36 very efficiently on 13-for-23 shooting from the field. While James did have a good game, he did miss five free throws, which has become a bit of an issue for him of late.
In addition to James having a good game, so did Lonzo Ball. Ball has been playing very well lately as he been very aggressive on the offensive end. Ball showed a lot of confidence in his shot, as he went 9-for-16 from the field. Ball also shot 5-for-9 from three-point range.
The combination of LeBron and Lonzo has been very good of late for the Lakers, and the two have built nice chemistry together. Even though the Lakers certainly want to be at full health, missing Ingram and Rondo has forced Ball and LeBron to play a lot together. This has resulted in the two making some nice plays together, and it will likely only get better as the season goes on.
Even though it wasn’t enough to get the win, “LeBronzo” did well once again for the Lakers.
