BBNBA: Jarred Vanderbilt's breakout performance lifts Lakers to win

Jarred Vanderbilt has been the toast of Los Angeles since joining the Lakers at the trade deadline. Vando has given LeBron James and Anthony Davis a lockdown defender and elite rebounder to help them make one final push for the playoffs, and on Sunday he had his best game as a Laker yet.

Vanderbilt, who now wears #2, the same number he donned at Kentucky, put on a breakout performance with 15 points, 17 rebounds, and four steals. Moreover, he channeled his inner Oscar Tshiebwe and grabbed a career-high-tying eight offensive boards.
