If you could describe tonight’s game in one word, that word would be ‘young’. The players-to-watch tonight included Andrew Harrison, Troy Daniels, Lou Williams and Brandon Ingram. The already-young Lakers team meshed nicely with the injury-ridden Grizzlies.
Tonight, the Grindhouse was the Troy Daniels show. The young shooting guard who has been struggling to find his rhythm this season definitely found it tonight. He got hot early, scoring 5 points on his first two shots of the game. That play continued, enough for 23 points in the first half alone. Adding a few more clutch baskets in the second half, he finished the game with a career-high 31 points.
