Welcome to the daily Laker, a Los Angeles Lakers fan podcast, today is Thursday December 17th, 2020. This podcast is brought to you by brownlab media and brownlabmedia.com
The Lakers scored 43 points in the 4th quarter of last nights game against the Phoenix Suns to get their 3rd victory of the preseason. 13 players played in the game including Lebron and AD.
Stats for the game: Talen Horton-Tucker finished the game with 18 points and 5 rebounds, Kyle Kuzma had 23 points, Anthony Davis had 10 points and Lebron James finished the game with 11 points.
Highlights of the game: Kuzma got the start for this game and he took advantage of the opportunity, he played 32 minutes and led the team in points by taking some good shots with no hesitation. THT continues to show his offensive toolbox by driving in and creating his own shots. Also, Quinn Cook looked really nice coming off the screen from the bigs and pulling up for shots around the perimeter.
A storyline to pay attention to:
We got an article from the Lakers outsiders titled, Caldwell-Pope after preseason debut: “My confidence is through the roof”. The Lakers paid KCP this offseason to stay with the team, earning a 3 year deal worth 40 million after a consistent showing during the regular season and stepping up in the playoffs and finals. Last season he managed to achieve new personal records from field goal and 3 point percentages. If he can continue with those number this year he will be very valuable to the Lakers as he will find himself open when Lebron or AD demand the double teams.
