What we learned from the Lakers' 112-93 win over Phoenix

Tuesday's win was the team's 10th in its last 15 games, putting memories of LaVar Ball's criticisms about Luke Walton almost completely out of sight.

It wasn't that long ago that Walton called out Randle after a loss to the Thunder for not playing with enough physicality and toughness. But on Tuesday, for the 10th-straight game, Randle was an effective force for the Lakers.

His coaches and teammates praised Randle for being one of the tone setters in Tuesday's performance, and finally, it seems like he's become a player the Lakers can count on on a nightly basis.
