Lonzo Ball kept the starting point guard job Saturday, getting the nod over Rajon Rondo, but perhaps left the door open with a “bad game” against the San Antonio Spurs while Rondo made a push to reclaim the position.
So coach Luke Walton kept Ball in the starting lineup Saturday. But Ball had just six points on two-for-eight shooting, three assists and two rebounds in almost 27 minutes.
Rondo had 12 points off the bench. He was four for eight from the field and had five assists and four rebounds.
