The Los Angeles Lakers went into Sunday night’s game against the Utah Jazz with one job: lose the game and stay in the the bottom-10. Unfortunately, they were unable to do that thanks to the contributions made by Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and the South Bay Lakers squad.
Yes, you read that correctly: a group of G League call ups, rookies and the unpredictable KCP led the Lakers to a win over the Jazz, who were fighting for home court advantage in the postseason on Sunday.
Caldwell-Pope went berserk in the fourth quarter, scoring 18 of his game with a game-high 32 points in the final frame.
