Great drive and dish to Brandon for the dagger. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold. |

I think Luke told him to take a 2 for 1. I like the shot in that it showed he wasn't scared. |
I thought the same thing. The whole play looked very premeditated. |

Just a few points is what's needed of him.
I liked his aggressiveness attacking the defense. That last shot looked like a set play. |

Lonzo had a great game, but that last play was all BI. BI immediately recognized how imbalanced Philly’s defense was, immediately gave the ball back to Lonzo who had a very easy drive for any NBA player.
Great recognition by BI and of course clutch shot. |

Definitely great play and BBIQ by the both of them. Like the two man games developing -- Ball/BI, Ball/Randle (Philly couldn't stop that down the stretch), and BI/Randle (BI becomes unstoppable if they continue doing that). |

It was definitely a two for one on that pull up three. Nice game by Lonzo tonight. 10/8/8 is good, but then you add 4 blocks and 3 steals and that's a very nice outing. |

Lonzo Ball's pace of play was great tonight against the Sixers. He needs to play fast every single night. |

Lonzo had another one of those first-in-NBA history stat lines tonight -- 8 assists, 4 blocks, 3 steals, 0 turnovers, 0 personal fouls. And that is not even counting the 8 rebounds.
The kid is special. |

Good that Magic is noticing what we see as well. Fastbreak Lonzo is one of the best Lonzos. Hopefully this ensures that we see it more and more. |

BI hit a great game-winning shot, but Zo won us the game |
