After a week off, the South Bay Lakers were back in action on Saturday night in El Segundo against the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.
They weren’t as depleted as last week; Alex Caruso and Thomas Bryant were back on the team. As for the RGV Vipers, they were led by two-way player R.J. Hunter (ex-Georgia State Panther), former Grizzly/Sixer Tony Wroten, and Chinanu Onuaku, who is on assignment from the Houston Rockets.
Bryant and Caruso made their presence felt early. But it was Robert Heyer that was scoring in bunches. He ended with 11 points in the first as the South Bay Lakers got off to one of their signature fast starts.
