NBA 2018-19: 3 Key takeaways from Cleveland Cavaliers vs Los Angeles Lakers

#2 Strong display from Lonzo Ball

Lonzo Ball had a strong display against the Cavs

With Rajon Rondo out for almost five weeks, the Lakers needed Lonzo Ball to step up. Ball finished with 0 and two points in the two games since Rondo's injury.

But he was a different man against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was aggressive from the start and contributed all-around for the Los Angeles Lakers. He finished with stats of 15 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists on 7-11 shooting from the field. He was great on the defensive end of the floor and came up with several good defensive plays. He also got to play minutes in the clutch time and showed up for his team.

The Lakers need Lonzo Ball to play consistently well for them. If he is aggressive like he was today, with his size and IQ, he will always be a threat for the opposition teams.
