The Los Angeles Lakers were in a close game against their cross-hall rivals, the LA Clippers, until they weren’t. Lakers head coach Luke Walton thought his team — that was missing LeBron James and Rajon Rondo, two huge pieces of what they do — “splintered” down the stretch while allowing a game-ending 22-0 run to the Clippers, which Lonzo Ball didn’t think was acceptable.
“We have to stay together, no matter if it’s going good or going bad,” Ball said. “Teams are going to go on runs, it happens, but a 22-0 run should never happen.
