#1 Rajon Rondo steps up in the absence of James

Rajon Rondo had a great night for the Lakers and controlled the entire match after the departure of LeBron James due to injury. He finished the game with 15 points and 10 assists and displayed great leadership to rally the troops together and keep them motivated in the absence of James.

Ivica Zubac had another great night starting the game for Lakers. He scored 18 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, and shot an unreal 9-10 from the floor. He also had 2 blocks for the game and dominated the Warriors from inside the paint.
