Hart, Ingram Give Boost to Starting Lineup
Josh Hart attempts a layup against the Brooklyn Nets on Feb. 2, 2018.With the offense in a rut, coach Luke Walton made two key changes to the lineup.
He eschewed a traditional point guard by removing Tyler Ennis and having Brandon Ingram handle primary playmaking duties. He also inserted Josh Hart among the starters.
The results were a fast-paced attack, a huge advantage on the boards and a Lakers win.
Ingram was the focal point of the offense, putting up 16 points, a career-high 10 assists and eight rebounds with only two turnovers.
Coach Luke Walton kept the playbook simpler for Ingram, who kept his promise to push the pace at every chance.
