After almost every game he plays, Lonzo Ball puts himself through it one more time. And while he is one of the youngest players on the Lakers’ roster, Ball is learning to assert his voice and offer his thoughts in those group meetings. Ball had his worst game of the season and had no desire to watch it again. Walton said after the game that Ball had an off night. “The difference when he’s out there pushing the ball, whether he’s shooting it or just he’s creating that pace for us by throwing the ball ahead, is everything for our team’s success,” Walton said.
