Lonzo Ball one assist shy of triple-double in Lakers' win vs. Suns
Luke Walton came to Lonzo Ball's defense saying that his rookie point guard did not play as poorly as some might've believed in the Los Angeles Lakers' opener. In his second game, Ball backed his coach's words up by falling one assist shy of becoming the youngest player in NBA history to post a triple-double with 29 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists to help the Lakers outlast the Phoenix Suns? "I think Lonzo's getting a bad [rap] for getting destroyed his first game," Walton said before the game.
