With Austin Reaves still out, JJ Redick chose to give Gabe Vincent the start at point guard in the Los Angeles Lakers’ contest against the Atlanta Hawks. It was only Vincent’s second start of the season and he responded with his best game of the year, finishing with 12 points, five assists and two steals.
Unfortunately it wasn’t enough to help the Lakers pick up a victory as they fell in overtime by two points. But for Vincent individually, it was good to see him make a real positive impact as he hasn’t been able to do so much in his time in purple and gold.
