The Lakers’ second unit brought some first-rate firepower to Tuesday’s preseason game against Utah.
Alex Caruso zipped dimes all across the court, while Kyle Kuzma attacked the teeth of the defense and Julius Randle jumped into passing lanes other end.
And though the Lakers fell, 105-99, it was a nice showing by the guys who came off the bench.
Caruso directed the show with 10 assists — tying for the most by a player off the bench this preseason.
Pushing the pace a la injured point guard Lonzo Ball, Caruso was able to boost the production of Randle (18 points, five steals) and Jordan Clarkson (18 points, 6-of-8).
