Montrezl Harrell is getting his numbers, but is he helping the Los Angeles Lakers?
If you look at the box score of this game, the stat line of 20 points (8-13 shooting!), 8 rebounds (3 offensive!) with an assist and a steal looks good for the reigning sixth man of the year. On the surface, some would think that Harrell had a solid game.
But Lake Show Life is not so sure.
Sure, Dwight Howard got kicked out of the game and hurt his team as discussed, but Trezl with his two shoves of Howard could have easily got thrown out of this game as well. During the game, Dwight actually was getting the best of Montrezl and he lost focus…
Up until the fourth quarter, Montrezl Harrell was having a subpar game. When the Lakers fell behind in the third quarter, his frustrations were setting in and it looked more like arguing with the referees were more important than playing the game.
For the third time in this four game skid, Montrezl Harrell has gone crazy scoring the ball in the fourth quarter.

Lake Show Life has already pointed out his tendency to lose his cool and how it will hurt the Lakers in the future.
Montrezl Harrell has to improve in this area. The Los Angeles Lakers need his availability now more than ever. If he gets into foul trouble or gets ejected, this team is in a lot of trouble.
Montrezl Harrell wasn’t the only player that showed up fashionably late to have a scoring surge to make things close. Read on to see who teamed up with Trezl powering the Lakers fourth quarter comeback.
