Byron Scott said Julius Randle's defense led to his late-game benching. The proof in the film shows why.
Los Angeles Lakers head coach Byron Scott openly criticized Julius Randle's late-game defense to media following their 20-point win over the Phoenix Suns, saying he pulled Julius from the game with 4:43 left in the fourth quarter in part because of defensive mistakes he made down the stretch. "First of all you've got to guard your man," Scott told reporters during his postgame press conference when asked what his message to Julius was following his benching.
