It took rookie big man Moe Wagner almost two months to score his first NBA points, so when he finally scratched from the free-throw line as the Los Angeles Lakers closed out a win over the Phoenix Suns, the Lakers’ bench went ballistic:
Wagner appreciated the gesture.
“I looked back and they went nuts. It was pretty cool, the way they reacted. It was fun, it’s been a while,” Wagner said. “It was a very cool moment for me.”
Lakers head coach Luke Walton also loved to see his team support the first-year forward/center.
