The Lakers definitely had a great team effort as six player scored in double figures: Julius Randle (20), Louis Williams (20), D'Angelo Russell (17), Brandon Ingram (12), Larry Nance Jr. (12), and Nick Young (12).Six Lakers were also in double figures in the Plus/Minus category: Brandon Ingram +22, Jordan Clarkson +17, Larry Nance Jr. +17, Louis Williams +17, Julius Randle +10, and Tariq Black +10.
