Receiving his second start of the season as the Los Angeles Lakers’ injury report continues to swell, Talen Horton-Tucker flaunted his panoply of offensive tricks to help blowout the Brooklyn Nets in their primetime showdown Saturday night.
Horton-Tucker logged 34 minutes in the contest, furnishing 14 points on 4-of-16 shooting (2-of-5 from 3-point range) and a season- and career-high 11 assists to go with three rebounds and three steals.
Shooting concerns aside — 25% on 16 attempts raises your eyebrows for the wrong reason — the 20-year-old guard displayed creativity with the ball not only when he looked to score but when he dished it out to teammates as well.
