The newly-acquired Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton made their Los Angeles Lakers debuts on Tuesday night, although it came in a losing effort against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Lakers acquired Finney-Smith to bring some toughness on the wing and he flashed a little of that in his debut. In 20 minutes off the bench, Finney-Smith only had two points, two rebounds and two assists on 1-of-4 shooting but had a nice putback dunk and some quality defensive plays.
