Many people lauded the efforts of players such as Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, and Kyle Kuzma who had bounce-back performances in the Los Angeles Lakers’ win Friday night against the Phoenix Suns. One player who was not mentioned in those discussions was Julius Randle.
For the second consecutive game, Randle seemed to lack energy and his playing time suffered because of it. That all changed on Sunday night as Randle looked like his old self against the Pelicans.
Even though the Lakers came up short against New Orleans, Randle was a catalyst for the team’s huge comeback in the second half.
